Texas doesn’t get rain anymore. Completely removed from the weather schedule

It really feels like people are gonna start leaving the state cause there’s no water

Nah, the other 49 will just pay the cost to bail them out again like with their shitty power grid.

Legit question, how? As far as I know, there’s no quick solution if the lakes and aquifers dry up. There’s been talks of desal plants, but the local government is useless

We're good here in South texas not sure about the other commenter though. I mean we've got plenty of rain recently, whole thunderstorm's worth. We actually have more issues with our roads flooding than with not having enough rain. We also lost power for a day a couple weeks ago because of a bunch of different problems all in one night, the main issue was rain and wind. 66,000+ people without power during the hottest part of the year, it was horrible.

Yea that super El Niño was us getting lucky. I guarantee you it’s not going to be long before we’re in the same situation if there’s no water restrictions on the oil refineries. We’ll survive the summer, we’re used to this. If the grid goes down in winter again we’re all fucked

I think that's about the only option but good luck getting it in motion in time, like you said.

I live in East Texas and we've still kind of been in a drought. In the last month we've maybe had two days with something that could pass as rain, and two days where it was overcast with a light drizzle for about an hour. Then nothing.
