@bryanrwalsh They did. See my discussion of that in this 2007 Science piece. http://www.sciencemag.org/content/318/5856/1540.summary …Bryan Walsh, July 18, 2012: Drought Now Covers More Than 50% of the Country. Why It Will Make Food More Expensive | Ecocentric | TIME.com
So while the drought of 2012 may not have generated the iconic images of Hurricane Katrina or Haiti earthquake, remember that was is happening right now to the heartland of the U.S. truly is historic.

Yes, the "bread-belt" or whatever has been hit with drier than normal conditions, but as of publication of this ridiculous article, it appears that only a quarter (barely) of the country is affected with very dry conditions. Oddly enough the drought conditions (yeah, one month used to be called weather) seem to be returning to normal.
Maybe Bryan, you jumped the shark?
