| Episode Narrative | Drought conditions continued across Central Alabama through the month of September, despite slightly increased thunderstorm activity and rainfall from the remnants of Tropical Storm Humberto. By the end of the month, roughly 3/4 of Central Alabama remained in the Exceptional Drought (D4) designation, with the remainder in Severe (D2) to Extreme (D3) Drought. Agricultural, hydrologic, and socioligical impacts continued to be widely felt. Around 80 percent of the corn crop, 70 percent of the soybean and cotton crop, and 40 percent of the peanut crop, was considered to be in poor or very poor condition by month's end. According to the USDA, this was one of the worst seasons ever for cotton. In addition, about 60 percent of the livestock, and 75 percent of pasture lands, were also considered to be poor or very poor. Major rivers and reservoirs continued to run much below normal. Navigation on major rivers remained significantly impacted, and many boat landings on major lakes were unusuable due to extremely low lake levels. Most water utility companies continued to enforce fines and surcharges for excessive water usage, and water restriction plans remained in effect. |
