Looking like 2014 will be the 2nd driest year of record here in Okarche. This following 2013 that was the 2nd wettest of record. Looking at recent previous years: 2012 (driest of record), 2011 (6th driest of record), 2010 (4th driest of record). I decided to put them all together and see how we are doing on the five year run. 30 1/2 inches below where we should be - or nearly one full year worth of precipitation. A year ago, we were dancing in the streets, but its clear that the long term drought is still hanging tough.
