Texas drought worsens from 'abysmal'

Lack of Nate rains and prospect of La Nina winter fuel drought

Okay if this is worsening from "Abysmal", things must really be getting horrible in Texas. The La Nina effect is apparently only going to make this drought worse because La Nina causes warm dry conditions to happen in the South. The US drought monitor said that "Texas and Oklahoma would need 9 to 23 inches of rain in the next month to emerge from the drought." Texas and Oklahoma don't get that much rain so it sounds like they might be in trouble. Below is an image of the severity of the drought.


Oh and to add to the problem the drought in Texas has resulted in a 5 Billion dollar hit to Agriculture.
