Atlanta, GA: Lake Lanier provides 1/3 of Georgia resident's water supply (including Atlanta), and Atlanta's Department of Watershed Management says there is enough water left in the lake to provide 121 days worth of water. They are begging people to conserve water. Litterally.

The long range forecast for the area is calling for their drought to continue into December.

I've also heard from a friend that parts of North Carolina is running out of water as well.

Don't think global warming is all that bad? Think about this: droughts are forecast to become greater in frequency & duration due to climate change. We just don't know exactly where this will happen. Some areas will become wetter & cooler. Others warmer & drier. We don't really know where the line will fall in the U.S., but if global warming exists, then this sort of scenario that we are seeing in the SE United States right now is likely to play out again and again. I'm not saying that the current droughts are indicative of global warming - I'm just pointing out that as bad as it is now, it's likely to get a lot worse & become more widespread.
