There is a lot of nonsense on the internet about the drought in Texas being the "worst ever." Here is a
reasonable article on the subject, but it attributes too much to climate change when the primary cause is really the
20-year drought cycle. While it is a severe drought, no question, it is not the "worst ever." Regardless, let's say some prayers this forecast is correct and there might be an easing in the near future.
