Yes, that's a wonderful thing. But the drought areas just seem to move around from year to year. Colorado is in awful shape with that wildfire. If you look at the map of the whole country- Georgia and SC are in bad shape, and we're not faring well in the midwest either.
Last year we had just the opposite- cooler than normal, and twice our normal yearly rainfall. (our norm is 40", last year we got 73").
