I am hoping Debbie does South and Central Texas some good.

We have had some decent relief.

Nonetheless, it will get hot and dry up here. Our water producton is such that restrictions and conservation are the norm. The NCTCG pretty much has a planned 11% conservation to allow for growth instead of more water production. regardless of weather.

Wish you guys the best!

I found it. Right now we are in the Neutral pattern. The Neutral pattern stinks as much as La Nina does Ok not quite as bad. We did have some good rains 2 weeks ago

Yep, dry as a bone in Ohio. Got some lawns on once a month. They are completely dead and it's only June. I knew we were screwed when I started mowing in mid March. Forecast calls for more heat and dryness. We are screwed. I hate the weather.
