North Carolina Drought Deepens

North Carolina Drought Deepens

Published 14 hours ago
Description

North Carolina’s drought is worsening, with “exceptional drought” now covering 7% of the state — up from 3% last week — and nearly 40% under “extreme drought.” Wake and Orange Counties are hit hardest, with Orange at 97% exceptional drought. Water levels at Falls Lake are plummeting, forcing stricter outdoor watering limits and enforcement. Meteorologists say a massive 12-14 inches of rain in one month is needed to recover — and relief isn’t in sight.
