The drought is never gonna stop it appears. We figured with Fall here now in the South that the rains would come, but that hasn’t happend yet. It’s gotten so bad, a local news station is going to be doing a 30 minute special just on the drought. At 6:30 EST on Sunday Evening, the ABC affiliate in Atlanta (channel 2 News) will be conducting an half hour show on the drought in Georgia. Many believe this is the worse one ever. We was lucky to have a few brief showers the other night, but the ground quickly soaked all of that up and we need more. LOTS MORE! I think as bad as it might seem to say, we need an hurricane in the Peachstate. I think we could do without all the power outages and wind damage that comes along with a hurricane, but all the wet stuff would be a welcomed sight.
I know I have lived my whole life in Georgia and I can’t recall it ever being this bad. We are under a 0 tolerance water ban in Georgia. Your first offense is just a written warning, but the 2nd time you get caught doing any outdoor watering, it could cost you as much as $100. Please try to conserve the water when you are washing dishes, brushing your teeth, taking showers, and only do clothes when you have enough to complete a full load. If we all pitch in just a little, I think we can make a dent in this awful drought and hopefully we can make it until the November Rains set in.
If you have any tips or tricks on how to save water, then please reply and if we all can save a drop here and there, maybe the fire departemnt will have enough when the next house or woods catch on fire. Lack of water like this is unsafe for all of us, so please try to conserve!
