    Damn, it's dry.

    http://www.drought.unl.edu/dm/monitor.html

    I live in Virginia. We went 34 days (new record) with no measurable rain whatsoever and are currently a hideous 14 inches below normal.

    The only areas that aren't really dry are getting so much rain it turns out to flood them.

    Same here. We get fined for using water for anything. If you are caught watering lawn, washing car etc... they will turn off your water on the spot, regardless if you bill is current or not. Same day re-activity is 1000 thousand dollars on the spot (No Checks).

    VA, Carolinas and Georgia are being hit very hard.

    it's been pretty normal in north florida, and it's been getting much cooler which has been a nice change from the 95 and humid we've had all summer.

    I swear, if the Carolinas don't get any damn rain soon I'll be limited to 4 minute showers, and almost no sink activity. On top of all the other restrictions already in place.. This sucks, lol.

    Re: Damn, it's dry.

    Not gonna bring the dreade "Global Warming" scenario into the thread and start a huge debate

    Right now in NYC, almost @ the end of October, people on the streets are still crusing in shorts is mind fn blowing

    The temp should be in the high to low 50's in the morning time, low to mid 40s in the night

    If this continues I wouldnt laugh or freak out if it magically started snowing in June

    Im a fatty, my blubber has withstood the onslaught of the heat/warm weather, god m'fer dammit, I want my cold/nut freezing weather, my body is accustomed to it ; ;

    Mind you I sleep like a polar bear, be it 20 degrees in nyc, I have my window open, fan runnning on high...yes I like my cool wind, and a blanket up to my thighs
    (My mom even sometimes leaves pots with food in it, cause my room is like a deep freezer)

    Re: Damn, it's dry.

    Excuse my naivety and ignorance, but are there methods to extract water from areas getting over-flooded, run them through filtration systems and ship it to the places in need?

    I cant be the first person to have thought of this..
