We have gotten some relief in the western panhandle this month. We've gotten 5.75" to this point in May after getting less than 10" in the first four months of 2026.


We have gotten several toad stranglers this week and other steady little rains In WNC. The burn ban has been lifted and wildfires shut down.
It was getting pretty grim and as previous poster noted, we repeatedly had rain in the forecast that did not materialize.

We had 9.5" of rain January through April. So far in May, we've gotten just shy of 13". That should've put a dent in the drought anyway.

We ended up with 15" of rain in May. Not enough to break the drought but enough to put a decent size dent in it.

A foot of rain and change. How does that bust a drought? Just too much rain at once? More flooding than soaking?

The last time Florida had massive wild fires from drought, was in 1998. Yeah, it's called weather patterns. It has always happened, particularly out West. It's normal.

Now, to California. They have too many people living in an arid climate, rely on lies regarding flow projections from the Colorado River when the Hoover Dam was built, which they don't put a single drop into, and are decades behind in their promise to build desalinization plants. Hey, I know, let's build millions of houses in arid California inside of canyons, which are basically wind tunnels for fire. The Natives were far smarter.

The drought is due to
Chemtrails! The U.S. Navy maps shows Florida, Eastern & Western coasts underwater as well as states along the Mississippi River. This will be due to Ice Caps melting. That water has to go somewhere. Our climate’s temperatures will continue to rise & break records. The Bible mentions the climate’s heat in Revelation 7 & Revelation 16. It mentions the seas roaring in Luke 21.
I hope he isn't.

We’ve had 9.5 inches here in the People’s Republic of South Johnson County in the last 14 days. Just .5 inches short of what I gave OP’s mom last night…
