Georgia is facing its most significant drought since 2011–2012. 🚨
We’ve officially entered record-breaking territory. The low rainfall amounts🏜️ for the Sep 1–Apr 1 period have now set all-time records at Macon and Columbus, and the lowest in over 100 years at Atlanta. With little relief expected from this weekend’s rain, the trend remains concerning as we enter the warmer spring months
