When I went out west last year they said the rain and snow was way down and have been in a drought over the same period of time. Alot of the trees are dieing in the Rockies because it hasn't been getting cold enough to kill the bugs.
About 10 years ago we had some near-record flooding in the towns just down from the Kentucky Dam (houses under water and major roadways impassable). A lot of talk was about a 'hundred year flood' and about how you can't really plan for that combination of sudden heavy rain following a long period of steady rain. But it shouldn't be a big concern because it happens so rarely (hence the name). The last time it was anywhere near that close was before the dam was built and there was no flood control, back in the early 1900s.
In the decade since, we've almost reached that same water level three times.
