Yes, BUT… it’s been the frequency for us & our flora just isn’t used to 30+ day stretches with no rain, especially with the summer heat. A lot of grass died out and a bunch of folks have culled cattle.
I’ve heard it called a “flash drought”
Luckily, the rains hit about right for decent hay production in most areas up here. Grazed pastures looked horrendous in July and our cool season grasses are poor looking now. Really hoping we catch some rain next week
My favorite is when they use lake levels to show how bad a drought we're in..... Without mentioning how much more water they pump out now compared to last drought.

Had to make a cheater stick to turn my boat lift on and off cause I can't come close to reaching it. Granbury is a good 2 feet down. One benefit I guess is that I'm burning in a mental map of where not to go. There are some nasty trees sticking up 1 to 2 feet now that would be perfect prop killers when the lake is full.
Meanwhile there is no flow in the Brazos so my back yard fishing has been really dead. I could shoot gar all day long but there is not much else out there at least in my stretch.
I've been on this earth long enough to have seen these drought events happening every decade or so. Also extraordinary rainy seasons. S#!t happens. We b!t(# about it but nothin we can do about it.
