The San Joaquin Valley is in deep trouble, as is much of Utah. Parts of Nebraska, Kansas, and Oklahoma are in deep trouble from drought.
As I write this, Florida is getting raked with a horrible hurricane whose first letter is "I". It's not even October yet and we are up to our ninth named tropical storm or hurricane. Hurricanes for over very warm ocean waters, and global warming makes tropical seas even hotter with the air above them more juiced from evaporation of warm sea water.
