My sister sent me these pictures of she and her husband riding their horses at the bottom of Lake Allatoona in northwest Georgia. I guess I didn’t realize how bad the drought is. I’ve been out on this lake before, but it had significantly more water than it does now. Now it’s not much more than a river bed running through dry land. Makes me think that plan for getting water from the Tennessee River and overlaying it with high speed rail to pay for it might not be such a bad idea after all.

Here is a map of current drought conditions which extends to states adjoining GA including southeast TN.
