We're drying up around here.

USA Today reports: Through September, it is the region's driest year in 113 years of record-keeping. In five of the six worst-hit states, rain totals this year are close to a foot below normal.

The print edition also states the Tennessee River flow is about half or normal and thousands of trees [in Tennessee] have died from lack of water.

According to The Daily Times, Alcoa and Maryville are scrambling to access more water.

I hear it is going to rain today. Do a dance!
