Drought on the Mississippi

After several years of drought in North Carolina, we’ve enjoyed a relatively mild and wet summer with only a few counties experiencing even mild drought.

But the rest of the country is suffering. The Atlantic Magazine presents a disquieting set of NASA satellite images of the Mississippi River: the first image from 2011 shows a Mississippi swollen by storms and the second, from this year, shows the drought’s effects.
