I saw some news yesterday talking about water being brought from Georgia to Florida, due to the drought here too..
Our main lake: Okechobee, it's the lowest that has been in 50 years.
So low, that in some areas you can spot 1950's items like bottles, cans, they even found some bones, they thought someone had been haxxed and thrown in there..but they turned out to be hundreds of years old!

The funny thing is that it rains everywhere in south florida EXCEPT lake Okechobee.

Yeah, the same thing seems to happen here in Brisbane. Every time we get a storm, or even random showers, it never rains in the dam catchment areas.

Sucks, we're on level 5 water restrictions now

Well you're not alone-

A fair swathe of area north, south and west of you is pretty rotten as well.
Out of interest it took awhile to dig up this image, not a lot of info on el-nino patterns

...which is even more unusual considering how people rabbit on about it, though Paris Hilton still gets more airtime being the retarded creatures we are.

To my eye, doesn't appear we've gotten over the mid 94 elnino yet, it just sort of strung along on low rainfall since.

Interesting. I grew up on the Sunshine Coast hinterland, about 1.5 hours north of BrisVegas, but up at the top of the mountain range. The town of Maleny.

It used to rain ALL THE TIME. The local river ran very close to the main part of town, and would flood over the bridges quite often (Yay! No school!).

That hasn't happened since 1996. Everything is just bone-dry now.

I swear, this summer had better be more interesting than the last. WHERE ARE MY DAMN STORMS, HUH????

The storms are really the only cool part of the Brisbane summer

When I first came over here in the early 90's I stayed out down around Bathurst which was mostly dry and horrible then, far as I know, it's probably still dry and horrible now!
