[QUOTE="dun, post: 32704, member: 34"] Drought conditions can be so localized that the drought maps put out by the USGS are pretty useless. Before last year we had hardly any rain in this county, a couple of inches a year, north of us had a surplus and nothing showed in the drought maps except way western and northern MO. The term drought is also dependent on location. In 1980 we were in western WA, we went 3 weeks without any rain. Wells were going dry and they were lamanting the horrible drought. When the summer rains are dependent on thunderstorms it gets even spottier. I'm sitting here watching the rain pour down on the river valley, 1 mile east, all wer're getting is the noise. Last week I talked to a guy that is about 3 miles east of here and commented on how much rain they had gotten the night before. It was the same deal, the river valley disappeared for a couple of hours in the heavy rain. The guy said all of the rain was west of him and that we must have really gotten a lot. A friend of mine maintains that rain is attracted to mowed hay, I have ahard time arguing with that. dun [/QUOTE]
