one-time offer Drought Continues Along With Fires, Lightning and Funnel Clouds, Historical Data 2002
It is smart to look back at modern historical data in monitoring drought situations to make sure not to be constantly repeating the same mistakes over and over again and to work on problems in advance. This might be of value to you and you can think on it.
Drought Continues Along With Fires, Lightning and Funnel Clouds, Historical Data 2002
According to the Drought Monitor issued on April 11, 2002 most parts of Arizona is under drought. This shows most all parts of Az as severe, and as we visited Az all last week we saw the heat at 106 degrees. Also alarming at least to me is the question of the private water levels. Stream flow: As of April 8, 2002, the United States Geological Survey's daily steam flow maps show reduced flows over central Arizona, some very drastically reduced meaning most all water will be arrival from the insightfully build Az aqueduct project. Running through Phx, and Tucson.
I am not sure who else is reviewing this data, but it is now time to pay attention, Az is in for a very hot summer and it is way to early to get comfortable about the upcoming El Nino rains, they are a ways off still. If you will take a look at 1998 also an El Nino year.
you will see why I heed warnings that you are not out of the woods yet and Az especially Phx suburbs grew astronomically and they will want more water needs as the heat comes for summer. And judging by the heat it is already there. Today we are here in Colorado and things are consuming too. Farmers have been complaining about the water too, I always enjoy the weather.com site as it has critical data, roughly as good as the Noaa. I met with a farmer out of Greely, Co who had a question with near by Ft Collins wanting his water. In Pueblo I met a guy in Barnes and Noble Coffee shop who complained about the up river citizen and how it would influence them too. This is an consuming narrative on the Farmer's plight all over Co.
Today of procedure we are having severe weather and the last thing you in fact want thunderstorms, hot weather and Tornado watches. Trinidad is on fire, so are other parts of the state, it is serious as I type this message out to you. I had a copy of an narrative I mentioned on my last trip through Denver "Dry conditions recall devastating 2000", by Theo Stein, Denver Post, March 29, 2002. You know how I hate that newspaper and their propaganda reporting, told the company editor to Fo once at the Denver Post. The jerk called the police. What a crock; he slandered an Entrepreneur and then cannot take a little criticism, what an anti-business newspaper. Anyways this story was right on the money and I guess they thinkable, today alright, I wish I were somewhere else, fires, Tornados and thunderstorms are not my favorite weather. In the Rocky Mountain News they were talking about the high temps in March causing irregular patterns in ice melt and with low snow pack the water furnish is as bad this year as Mt is facing as we discussed in Part Ii of the is Vi report.
By March 11, they were not saying very many good things about the drought, yet the citizen just keep buying houses and piling in. This will probably hurt our prospects of sales in Colorado Springs, Denver, and Loveland/Ft Collins/ Cheyenne areas too. As it stands it is being determined by the Governor a Drought accident : 11 counties in Co eligible for Usda accident farm loans although this is only a start. If you will remember in October 31, 2001-- The U.S. Group of Agriculture named 11 counties in Colorado as eligible for Usda accident farm loans due to losses caused by drought that occurred earlier this year. Eagle, Garfield, and Pitkin Counties were named as traditional disaster areas on October 25, 2001. Also eligible because they are contiguous, are Chaffee, Grand, Gunnison, Lake, Mesa, Rio Blanco, Routt, and Summit Counties. Here again the same counties are still having the problem.
Back in August of 2001 in was 18 counties and those same counties look like it will reoccur. -- The U.S. Group of Agriculture today named 18 counties and maybe ready to add two more in Dec., then the rains came, but not hard enough. In Colorado as eligible for Usda accident (Em) farm loans due to losses caused by hail, high winds, winds, flash flooding, flooding, rain, icy temperatures, and severe winter weather, that occurred from May 20 through June 21, 2001. For more data on the most modern activities in Co watch Cnn fro a fire update. Working on down the list let us look at Delaware, yes Delaware surrounded by water is also in a rather bad predicament. Saltwater intrusion for farmers, wells running dry in some places, farmers pitted against city dwellers and it ain't over.
Warnings were issued in Dec. And again in April and now again last week. Sure it is remaining but the midpoint rainfall deficit still exists and it is a long summer indeed. Recently I discussed Fl and I understand they got some rain today, but it was sporadic at best and nothing critical enough to end an 8-year drought situation.
Florida needs to discontinue that Desalination plant in Tampa and produce good water keeping after the heavy storm seasons to trap that water for later use. Meanwhile the Everglades are at issue with some of the pollution runoff and the algae bloom off the coast of Fort Myers about 80 clicks is not looking to pretty either. It whether rains or drought in Florida and the citizen continues to grow while water furnish and keeping potential remains constant.
