It was drier and hotter in the 30s and the 50s and certainly many, many times before accurate records were taken.
2011 was the driest year on record for Texas.

Damn near was for OK as well. The 30s and 50s were 8-10+ year droughts. Just because a summer is record breaking doesn't make it unnatural.
If the earth is warming, doesn't that mean more water is evaporating from lakes and rivers, which would put more moisture into the atmosphere, which would result in more rain?
I'm not a scientist, so I dont know.
Look, they have been making record corn crops year after year in the Midwest. They are due a below average year. Don't take localized weather patterns and make grand assumptions that man is dictating the weather. Climate is what you think you're going to get and weather is what you actually get. They seldom match up.
That's happening in a lot of places. Just not here.
I'm not a scientist either though.
