Reply #6: this drought in the southeast [View All]

[marions ghost]

is really really scary...

People are praying for hurricanes. Large trees are dying, not to mention annual crops and animal feed. In our town, they are putting water bags on some of the trees that are 20 years old. I asked an old farm woman who had been in the same place 50 years, if she'd ever seen anything like it. She said, 'I've seen drought, but nothing ever like this.'

And yet, communities still don't believe in serious water restrictions. And people water lawns. But it's so bad a lot of the flowers and shrubs are dying anyway....
