at least around here in virginia a lot of rivers have been running very low, especially ones that feed from shenandoah. the area under D3 is getting larger every week. we really haven't had a true gully washer in months. panic may be a strong word but folks have a right to be anxiousGood post. I simply don't understand all the drought panic on here recently. Yes it's been a dry fall, but the growing season is over and many of us are coming off the wettest 4-6 year period on record; AND we're about to enter a Nino. I've just been enjoying a drier stretch for a change.
