Well we're just on a record making roll, now aren't we? Apparently
Texas is the driest state in the nation! Highlights from the linked article:
- 77 of our 254 counties are in extreme or exceptional drought and no other state has even one county in one of those categories
- In the San Antonio-Austin area, there have been 36 days with 100+ degree temps this year (average is 12)
- Lake Travis in Austin is down 54%
- The Edwards Aquifer (San Antonio) is in the midst of its driest 23-month period since recording began (in 1885)
Here's the drought map. Our county is in the "extreme" area, but the "exceptional" area is just one county over:
