The drought has been a financial disaster, an environmental disaster, and for many, a psychological disaster. Some places have had under an inch all summer. It's terrible to have so many close calls--yet no rain, no rain, no rain.
You should see the interstates... Lined with trees, but most of them brown and dead or well on their way.
Oh yeah, it's absolute brutal here. It's so depressing seeing all the grass dead and brown and trees falling. It makes me want to cry.![]()
Seriously - think about wind and dead trees - not a good combination at all. We were in East Texas this weekend - minding our own business - and a huge limb fell out of an oak tree nearby. Could have meant serious injury and that wasn't with any wind at all. . . . Send rain - no wind.
