EdgeThe Southeast US drought map as of today. My region of Western NC is in one of the regions of extreme drought. El Niño will not make any of this better.
Interactive, can get down to individual counties.
Jeri Dansky@czarbucks My sympathies. We've been through drought and water restrictions here and I feel fortunate we're doing OK on water at the moment.
The map is showing my county as D0 (abnormally dry) but I wonder if that will change after all the rain we had today (and supposedly will get tomorrow, too).
And I imagine within our county the coast might be different from the inland areas.
I'm really glad to know there are SOME areas of the country who aren't facing this, and without some huge storm, either.
I always have to couch my request for rain (silently) with "not like Helene."
