Flash Drought Hits Green Country | Tulsa News

Green Country’s facing a brutal flash drought fueled by a relentless heat dome, baking the soil and plants dry while shutting off rain. Crops are suffering, water bills are rising, and reservoirs—though bolstered by a wet spring—are under strain. Wildfire risk is skyrocketing, prompting burn bans across areas like Tulsa County until heavy rain arrives. This scorcher’s expected to stick around through September, worsening the drought, but there’s hope: a predicted strong El Niño could bring much-needed rain in fall and winter. Buckle up—it’s dry now, but relief might be on the horizon. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
