CEO Economic Update: Worst drought in over 113 years

CEO Economic Update: "Alabama, Tennessee, North Carolina and Florida have had less rain than at any time since records began in 1894."

Falls Lake looks more like a river, or rather a ribbon of water at the bottom of a canyon. As water levels are 8 feet below normal. Leaving Raleigh with about 100 days of water.

Atlanta has about 90 days of water left as Lake Lanier is drying out and the Corps are required to discharge water to support agriculture (oysters) downstream. Currently Lanier is discharging
10x the amount it is receiving as Lanier must make up for the entire water system's shortage.

Other metro areas are even worse off, with an estimated 4 week's worth of water.
