It's going to take overwhelming evidence to overcome the "historic drought" claims we've been hearing for some time now. Not wild "anyone who actually lives in the American West knows" conjecture based on "I bet" and what is happening in your very local backyard this specific year.

FWIW I tried the link and couldn't get it to generate data.



30-35 years ago I recall being taught about how we were in a historic 7 year drought.

Not sure but around same time I think I also had some school teacher astronaut come and give our school a speech before she went up.


Wow, uh... about 37 years ago, this happened: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Space_Shuttle_Challenger_disas....

McAuliffe was to be the first teacher they sent to space, and they didn't try again until I think '98. Not sure if you realized that connection, but it was kind of surreal for me when it clicked that this is probably who you're talking about.


Was many years before I realized I had seen the crew before they blew up. Freaked me out when I did.
