| Episode Narrative | Severe to extreme (D2-D3) drought conditions were seen across much of the northern half of Oklahoma during the month of January. However, much needed precipitation during the latter half of the month, mainly in some form of winter precipitation, allowed for these areas to improve to just severe conditions (D2). This also allowed for an improvement to areas farther south that were in D2 drought conditions during the month of December. The winter storm from the 12th through the 14th provided much needed precipitation to improve these areas to D1 or less. |The drought has been ongoing for over a year now, which continues the water worries over many communities. Lake levels remain at or near record lows, although the recent beneficial moisture has helped somewhat. Many boat docks and ramps remained on dry ground, but lakes are showing some improvement, rising slowly during the last half of the month. Even at low levels, most lakes are still considered at safe levels for everyday living and water rationing has been kept to a minimum.|The agriculture industry continued to be hit hard by the drought. Although many farmers are beginning the year much better than they did last year due to the recent precipitation, many are fighting to save their 2007 crops. The recent precipitation has helped the top 12 inches of the soil, but the soil below this remains very dry. Additional precipitation will help crops that were planted during the fall, such as winter wheat. The crop damage for the area was estimated at 750 thousand dollars. |
