THE BATTALION
Heat
Continued from Page 1A
Northwest of the Dallas-Fort
Worth area, volunteer crews out
side Throckmorton have been
struggling to complete a pipeline to
another town’s reservoir. Throck
morton residents, who have not had
rain since spring, are within weeks
of losing their own water supply to
the drought.
Cora Lee Brannon said her
prized impatiens, begonias and
even one of her oak trees have
shriveled up and died this month on
her one-acre property in the' Fort
Worth suburb of Southlake.
“Mother Nature is not kind in
Texas,” she said. “Like everybody,
it’s been a struggle to keep the spring
things alive. It just doesn’t make any
sense to try to keep them alive.”
Despite two months without
rain, the region is only about a half
inch below normal for the year,
Harris said.
North Texas has received 21.19
inches since Jan. 1, and average
rainfall for that period is 22.31 inch
es. Heavy rains in June minimized
the deficit, Harris said.
Harris said the record will contin
ue until rain is measured at the
agency’s rain gauge at the Dallas-
Fort Worth International Airport.
And even a bit of rain will not be
enough to snap the extended drought.
Harris said it could take a year or
more to restore the state from the
drought because it is a slow process
of filling up reservoirs and recharg
ing soil moisture.
“It’s kind of like sliding down a
hill,” Harris said. “Eventually, you
get to the end of it.”
