The drought is awful here in North Alabama.

Lucky..

A fire ban anywhere in the South is an advisory that is mostly ignored.

Picture Florida burning, really burning big time where small cities were being evacuated. Statewide ban on all burning. National news far more than now.
A small smoke column is spotted. Some idiot was still doing a backyard burn and wasn't even there to supervise it with a garden hose. It was threatening a pile of lumber so it was time to put in a line and at least save the lumber. The owner came out and was upset till he saw his property was being saved.

He was a local Sheriffs Deputy.

Alabama got her name from the Alibamu Creek tribe.

If you think *Tallapoosa* is funny, you'll rip a stitch over:

Ketchepedrakee, Wedowee, Wetumpka, Tuskegee, Sylacauga, Talladega, Arbacoochee, Eastaboga, Opelika, Notasulga, Eufaula, Loachapoka, Ohatchee, Tallassee, Tuscaloosa and hundreds of other Creek Indian names around here...

Last rain at my land, other than a sprinkle, was on Aug 2. The Creek running across my place has dried up and only has a couple of puddles left. Even the Choctawhatchee River can be walked easily. It's usually about waist/chest deep or more, but yesterday it was only cankle deep. Makes for easy fishing when you can walk from hole to hole and they are all holed up in a few deep pockets. Like shooting fish in a barrel. Catch 37 Freezer Bass in a 1/4 mile stretch yesterday.

And 1 Dinner Bass for a total of 38. If you dont know what a Freezer Bass is, ask somebody.

I'm here outside Huntsville in Gurley area. It is so dry and the Flint river is very low as well as the County Lake. Also a smoky haze in the air, I'm assuming from the fires in Warrior. Any one in my area notice the haze?

Let's make it rain. Its been done before. If we all focus on at the same time I bet we could do it. But we don't want to cause a flood.

My big fat English bulldog is all pooped out. Damned smoke has him out of breath with little exertion.

this is "out the door" weird, now sing the loolabite song!

I've just come from Charlotte, NC and the local news said 34 days w/o any significant rainfall. There are quite a few fires in NE Charlotte as well. With some evacuations.

Driving back to Georgia there were also fires in the mountains and very hazy skies. Lakes and rives looked really low, too.

Lets all pray.
We should know by the grace of God itself that it works.

Hit them knees when you can and let the Lord know we could all use a drop or two.

La Niña oscillations are being exaggerated by climate change, this year has been particularly bad.

As an engineer, I recognize a few things:

1. Droughts and floods are normal and will strike various parts of the country at different times.

2. The world will need more and more food; therefore, the USA, which has been an agricultural leader, should have a goal to produce even more food and fiber.

3. We have the capability to move water from places that have too much, e.g., lower Mississippi Valley, to places that need water, e.g., West Texas and the high plains.

I propose that we build a nationwide system of aqueducts and reservoirs to move water when we need to. Farmers and other users can pay for the projects via bonds over time from user fees.

BTW, since we have natural gas in abundance, we can use that as an energy source for the pumps required. For example, the oil deposits in Alaska often have vast amounts of methane hydrate above them. Ditto the Gulf of Mexico. With a pipeline, that will create a source of natural gas for centuries.

I think the first project is move massive amounts of water from East Texas to West Texas and the high plains. The soil is quite fertile in many areas, but there is insufficient water for irrigation. After that, the desert Southwest can be irrigated and, finally, California.

Economies thrive on PRIMARY production such as factories, farms, mines, oil, gas, and timber. Without primary production of goods, you are stuck with low and declining wages in service economies. It is NOT possible to shut down all primary production and survive economically.

Sorry, we just got out of a terrible drought in Washington State this last year. I feel bad.

i was noticing that was starting to be a problem too

56 days here in Birmingham. Broke the previous record of 54 days. 30% chance of rain next Saturday is our best shot. They say the pattern is supposed to change in late November bringing much needed rain.

I live in monrovia. The day this shit started..I saw massive Chem trail activity going on

Upstate NY. Little rain here too. No winter last year, looks like it may be a repeat this year. Good thing is all the Sun is killing all the mold, fungus and bacteria.

Couldn't make it two hours without sucking on his mamas tit.

Thread: They Need To Stop Blocking Hurricanes. The Heavy Rains Fill Up Our Water Tables

Yes, we have 55 acres, part of which is the mountain. ..there have been several forest fires nearby. I'm in rural st. Clair county...it's scary. We keep hosing down the area around our two homes here. The other night, I 65 was closed around warrior cuz a fire.

Yes, statewide burn ban still...we have tons of leaves to burn but we'll wait...everything is a powdery dirt under them...trucks filthy, it's terrible here...hasn't rained in months...

Same her in Asheville NC. Nary a drop Since august. Driest ive seen it in 17 years I have lived here. I believe that all weather is direct or indirectly affected by geoengineering.

Im near Pell city...I wS shopping there the other day, there was a heavy smell of burning in the air, a hazy smoke covering the whole sky and even the sun...from a distance, every mountain I could see had smoke sitting over it...scary.

Colorado is now in drought also, currently stage 1 almost stage 2. If it keeps up and we don't get any snow this winter, wildfires will burn big time

Prayers for all of you in Alabama.

The drought is horribly bad here in NW Georgia where I live. My plot of a few acres, normally emerald green, is as dry and brown as West Texas.

Impetus to get those beach front property states to start getting desalinization projects going. Military industrial complex has been to long, at the fed money trough. Lets move the money to real national security issues on the home land.
