The severe drought across Texas has hit the oil and gas city of
Midland especially hard, as I reported in Friday’s New York Times and Texas
Tribune. Since Oct. 1, Midland has received only 0.13 inches of rainfall —
making it “most likely the driest six-and-a-half-month period in recorded
history,” said David Hennig, a Midland-based meteorologist with the National
Weather Service. With three major regional reservoirs ranging 2 percent to 30
percent full, the city has put in place outdoor watering restrictions — albeit
not backed up by penalties — for the first time.

It's two months until the start of the World Record Encampment.
