Holy drought!

So I live in the south east (Atlanta for those who didn't know) and we're in a severe drought. Most of our lakes are about 14' below full and falling about 0.1' a day. There is also talk going on that one of our local lakes which helps provide drinking water may be drained to fill another lake in Alabama which houses an endangered species that's way below normal capacity

In the news they're talking about water rationing and serious legal consequences if you're caught watering outside. It all sounds weird to me

Not entirely sure if this is thread-worthy.

Our whole country is in the worst drought ever.

Australia > Atlanta

But thread worthy

AIDS too. We would lose if drought-stricken areas were made into a trading card game.

Hell, it had not rained here for 4~5 months until last week, when it finally rained. Unfortunately, though, I haven't seen clouds in the sky ever since

GUESS WHAT?!?!


Its going to fucking rain here for the next few days!

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!

i'm going to throw a bottle of water in the trash to spite you.

Middle Tennessee isn't much better. I'll post these before and after pics of my yard once more.





Guess which is pre-drought and win a prize!

I'm partial to Stargates, but I think they use water.

What if we stick one on the bottom of a lake and then flood the water into your lake with another portal?

vegas has been in a drought for years. We are on watering schedules, cant wash our car with a hose (only a bucket), things like that.

We aren't allowed to wash our cars outside whatsoever. And I heard that they are making car washes a case-by-case sorta deal and might eventually phase those out which will put people out of a job.

Severe isn't the right way to think of it... Severe just isn't severe enough (for lack of any words).

In my profession it is considered to be in a class called 'Exceptional' which is the worst there is:



I also think that Athens Georgia came up with an inventive way to tell people about the water ban:

in my neighborhood the sprinklers are on even though it just rained.

If its yellow leave it mellow, if its brown flush it down.
