I have a book on early Oregon written by my Gt.Gt.Gt. Aunt Charlotte who talks about the great flood in the mid 1800s
No its nothing new just that we go though these changes in weather now and then and every time it changes its blamed on something other than just normal weather.

What's interesting about this thread is the common sense in the responses and the fact that posters can talk about the history of weather in the US. Must be farmers whose livelihood is tied to the weather. Nowadays, you ask most kids (and even adults) about weather cycles and they can't remember past last Thursday.
Oh, I also agree with all you common sense folks who know that the weather is gonna do what it's gonna do and that this year you'll be praying for a dry spell and in a couple of years praying for rain. Actually, don't have to think far back. Wasn't it about a year or so ago that the Southeast (Atlanta region) was bone dry, reservoirs drying up and this year they were trying to get a dry day?
And who am I going to trust: Allan in NE who posts great farming pix or a guy talking about a "weather manipulation weapon"?
