Drought in Chicago - Parts of Midwest Bake in Summer Heat
In case anybody was wondering, we are experiencing drought conditions here. It hasn't rained more than a few drops in many weeks. Lawns are brown, plants are dying, trees are in danger, the wells most communities in Lake County get water from are drying up and having to be drilled deeper...oh, and developers are dumping a bazillion gallons of water on their new subdivisions to get the lawns and artificial lakes jump-started.
