[QUOTE="dennishoddy, post: 1576095, member: 5412"] I believe I saw on TV that in 1980 we went 50 consecutive days over 100. We are just a little over half way there right now. I remember it in 80. Much worse than now. 10-15 acre lakes dried up. When it was dry, nobody dug out the ponds, and when the rain came, they put fish back in, and here we are again. I've only got one, but its been dug out, as flood water cut the dam two years ago, and the dozer operators won't get in a pond until its been dry for at least 2 years, and they prefer 3. Even sitting dry for that long, there was still about 6 feet of sloppy wet silt in the center. He managed to cut around it, and finally got down to firm earth. So, I've got a pond, but no water now. The weeds and sunflowers are about 6' high. I'll need to get over there and get that mowed, and burnt, so when it does rain, I won't have the debris on the bottom sucking the oxygen from the water.
