Dry and No Sign of Relief

For the last two days, my stories have centered around the dry weather. Yesterday I got a chance to interview a farmer struggling with one of the driest summer months in a long time. Then today, I spoke with the fire marshal about a ban on burning for residents in Louisiana. It was a strange feeling, looking at two stories focused around weather that isn't happening. Most of my weather stories come from flooding, tornadoes or even hurricanes. It's strange to know that something as seemingly innocuous as a lack of major storm or rainfall can quickly turn into something that can affect a lot of different people in a lot of different and sometimes very difficult ways. I guess all we can do is complete our own private little rain dance for hope for a little precipitation.
