Texas is in longest drought streak since September 2013!

The latest Texas Water Development Board drought map for conditions as of 6/21/22 shows expansion and intensification of drought for the third consecutive week. This week’s map also extends the number of consecutive weeks with 75 percent or more of the state in drought to 25, the longest such streak since September 2013.
 
April-May 2022 hottest April-May going back to 1895! June 2022 is on pace to be the hottest June also! 4951

@TownHubAdmin : I remember it well. It devastated our trees and denuded the undergrowth along the greenbelt. It's taken years to recover. Pray for some good, steady rains. 4951

@CaffeineFree : And the rude HOA notifications that new sod had to be put down. Like we have control of the weather or COH water shenanigans. 4951

@Gammyof2 : I don't think the HOA can make people put down sod. What neighborhood is that? 4951

@TEXASGIRLMAMMA : I was referring to the 2013 drought. BB HOA sent everyone on our block letters about laying new sod. It was annoying. Hopefully the new board isn't as outrageously demanding as that one was. 4951

Hope it don't turn out anything like that 2011 drought!....That's the worst one I've seen.....I remember taking these pics of Lake Houston at Deussen Park in Sept. of 2011:
 
A look at "The Big Pavilion" while standing on what would been the bottom of the lake about "casting distance" from shore:

Looking the other direction, towards the Dam, standing on the same spot as above:

And then there's the Boat Ramp taken from the shore:
