rain...

with all this rain, who is having a drought?

Florida! Still!

Apparently, even though we're getting lots and lots of rain, it doesn't count unless it rains a lot on Lake Okeechobee. It's basically a huge puddle - I think it's 15 feet at its deepest - and it makes up most of the fresh water in the state. So, even though we're just as constantly damp as you guys, until Lake Okeechobee gets deeper (it lost some depth due to a lack of rain), we're technically in a drought.

We're in our 13th year of drought...officially Australia wide for the last 4 years. Nearly forgotten what rain is!

Hmm. I do know this, but I suspect that it's not you guys from whom all the rain we had came.

It was unusual for this year, so... :)
