That's what an awful lot of Texas lakes are looking like these days. Most of the North Texas area is in a drought that the NWS says is "serious to exceptional". We have had, in most cases, less than half of our average rainfall. The Dallas/Fort Worth area usually averages around 36 inches per year with Dallas and east of Dallas getting the most. The entire area is 15 to 20 inches short. My land, 70 miles NNW of the metromess, has had less than 10 inches. Lots of brush fires and nothing to feed cattle. Cross Plains, a town about 75 miles west of Fort Worth with a pop. of about 1,000, was evacuated yesterday by a fire that took 50 houses. Hot weather, no rain and 8% humidity.
Had I stocked walking catfish, they would probably have packed up and decamped.
