Same here in TX. We had most our total rainfall very early in the year, but have had only about 1" of rain in the last 6 months. We're still a major tinderbox. We're over 50% down from our normal, and when we did get the rain, it came down so fast it wasn't beneficial for anything minus runoff that went into the reservoirs and lakes. Even so, every body of water here is rapidly dropping, if it still has water in it.
South Carolina checking in. I have a year round creek and it is completely dry. We had heavy rain fall from hurricane Ian, and at first, the water levels were back to normal, but I checked a few days ago and its totally dry again.
Southeastern US is very dry right now.
It's been a month since we had significant rainfall.

I was thinking Ian kinda flooded the place.
I wish. The system stuck to the coast.
It's so dry in KY/TN that the leaves started changing and shedding in August.
