I said in the previous post that the drought was "savage," and then began to wonder if I was exaggerating. This might be a trifle hard to read as I had to compress it a little to get it on the page where I want it. But it shows that Central Texas, indeed, is in severe to extreme drought, and things haven’t improved in the four days since the graphic was made by NOAA. Driving around Lake Travis yesterday to get the photo below, I kept seeing signs warning about the potential for grass fires. Lots of houses back in the brush. Amazes me I have not heard of any of them burning up in grass or brush fires in at least twenty-eight years.
