It was the same thing here starting in 1998. Had 10 years of severe drought out of 12 years. Never much said about it till water started running out in towns and cities. Then it was in the news. Had 3 rivers dry up between me and Richmond and hit the news. Those years it was drought from north Florida to Maryland. Wells went dry, towns laid large pvc pipe on top of the ground to get water any place they could. Little place called New London just west of Lynchburg had water hauled in for 6 years to houses. Each house had a plastic water tank beside the driveway and was filled every week by truck.
Most folks that have never been to the east coast think it's all cities. Most of these states agriculture is still the leading cash industry. Have a good friend in Wis. ask me how did I raise cattle here with it being nothing but cities. I had to laugh. I live more in the sticks than he does. Folks still raise corn, barley , wheat, soybeans, cattle and lots of grass over the area I typed about above. And yes we still raise tobacco too. No it's not the mid west but folks make a living farming here.
Don't want to make anyone feel bad cause I know all about drought but we are wetter this winter and spring than it's been in 25 years. I never and will never complain about rain the rest of my life. So hang in there as best you can. It will rain again.
