It is so bad that cows are giving powdered milk and we have 3 year old ducks that don't know how to swim. All the water siphoned off for fracking and Rick Perry's prayers to God have not helped.

These are a list of Texas counties that have some type of restrictions. We got some rain in Houston, but it was soaked up. We have been almost mosquito free this summer, that is how dry it has been.
