SAN ANTONIO (AP) - Scorching temperatures that are siphoning
lakes and wreaking havoc on ranches across Texas aren't expected to
ease anytime soon.
Meteorologists said Friday that significant changes are unlikely the next two weeks as Texas grapples with a prolonged drought. Houston reported record-tying highs for June on Thursday while New Braunfels in Central Texas was among the nation's hot spots at 107.
Already this summer, heat has been suspected in several deaths.
Bob Rose, a meteorologist with the Lower Colorado River Authority in Austin, said he's getting calls from worried ranchers and farmers who have no moisture in their hard soil.
Rose said the water levels at Lake Travis near Austin are dropping by two feet a week

Not as bad YET as it was in the late 50s; Back then, some farms south of SA went for over 2 years without a single drop of rain; and unfortunately it got broken by Carla, Bulah and Celia.

I agree Alex. It's no different with media outlets reporting on wildfires and earthquakes in California....hurricanes in Florida...We have a drought every single year. Move to Oregon or Washington if you want rain!
