anybody here how bad it is down there?
I read some are saying the worst since 1950. But then that drought extended into Oklahoma
I was told and lasted about seven years. Check the map:
http://www.drought.unl.edu/dm/DM_state.htm?TX,SThe map itself almost looks like it is on fire and I saw on the news about a week ago a big portion of
Bexar County was on fire, literally.
I was in North Austin two weeks ago. Passing through Hamilton , Texas I was surprised the pastures were
green, people were bailing hay and ponds appeared pretty full. Between Hamilton and Lampasas it was as
though there was a line marking total dryness. I think that is the case extending on south of that line.
