There is no end in sight for the horrible drought that has caused many wildfires across Texas and the southern United States. The drought is expected to get worse as a La Nina weather system is supposed to hit the southern United States. A La Nina weather system tends to bring warmer weather for the southern states. As of now 97% of Texas is classified as being under a exceptional or extreme drought conditions. The past 12 months, ending August 31st, were the 12 driest months in Texas history. However Texas is not the only state facing these horrible conditions. The entire state of Oklahoma is under some type of drought conditions, whether it be extreme, severe, or exceptional drought. Other states hit by drought include Georgia, Florida, and the Carolinas.
