From yesterday's paper:
http://www.courier-journal.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20071014/NEWS01/71014016/1008/NEWS01

Most of the ponds and lakes around here are 2-3 feet low, the story mentions one that's 9 feet low and insinuates there are many that low. I haven't seen any that are nearly that low. It hasn't been that dry around here, 9.5 inches less rain than normal but we've still had some rain every month.

The ponds having issues, and specifically that one down 9 feet, must be leaking to begin with wouldn't you think? Maybe normal precipitation is enough that the leaking doesn't matter. This is nothing near the kind of extreme droughts many of you Texans are accustomed to, so I was a bit surprised to see this article.
