Texas Drought-- Some Photos to Illustrate What Is Really Going On
We've had a few folks on here mention the drought and show their own photos. Most really have no idea how severe it is. The photos on this blog show the real state of things in rural Texas. Our friends in this region are in our prayers.

WOW - that's bad.
I'd be interested to see pics of some of the streams/rivers when the water is at "normal" levels. Can't imagine the difference in scenes

We're setting records on the heat as well. Another one today at 101 degrees. I feel most for the people with ranches who depend on it. Fires are under control in my area, but we need rain badly. I believe we're about 26 inches below normal rainfall. A stalled tropical depression over the area would be welcome!

Driving out to our lake house on lake Livingston it looks like fall from all the brown and yellow trees. This is what Lubbock is supposed to look like, not east tx. All the txdot signs on the freeway say "extreme wildfire conditions" or "conserve water". This high pressure system over us just won't leave and every hurricane/ tropical storm has either gone north east of us or south west. It's very depressing. Luckily the river where I ride still has water but I don't know how long that will last

David- Hopefully they get the fire under control tonight (and hotspots). The low humidity, lack of rain for months, and wind are recipe for disaster. Magnolia has taken a beating with roads, schools, and businesses evacuated/closed. I think we're gonna see the effects for years to come. Very sad.
