I find this topic fascinating and have to come back this evening when I have time to read it.
The article as I skimmed it suffered a tad from 'back yard itous' in that the worst drought ever in my area was 1988. Much of the USA was suffering from that drought as well, perhaps did not hit so hard in that part of Oklahoma for a change.
There is a drought cycle, the 1930s, the 1950s, the 1980s, the 2010s. About every 28 years. Some are really bad, some are just dry. Some only last 3 years, some are close to a decade. The cycle goes back before that. It is pretty predictable, really. We don't know if we saw the worst of this one, or that is yet to come.
We know it, happened before, will happen again.
Where I live, the wet years in between are much more damaging. But doesn't make as good a story, so you don't hear about it. The early 80s, the mid 90s, a little bit of the late 2000s tho that wet spell wasn't as bad. But I remember all the mud and unplanted acres and busted harvest equipment from those wet years, in my back yard.
