EXTREME DROUGHT IN THE SOUTHEASTERN U.S.?

This is not good news.  Koyle said the drought would start in the southwest and spread.  I was shocked to hear that the Stake here in Logan had been fasting for rain at the same time Saints in California were fasting for the same thing.

Moisture has returned here - as it is raining and snowing aplenty outside, but they apparently had a really dry winter.

Here is the article:

Here is a pic of President Ezra Taft Benson as Secretary of Agriculture during the original drought and depression.  As things repeat, we will go thru it again - along with everything else.

    There was an area-wide fast for rain here in the Uintah Basin in Northeastern Utah this weekend as well. This was not limited to just church members, but included individuals of all faiths in the area.

    We did get quite a downpour this afternoon too.
