I live near the mighty Mississippi, and it's true it's a bit lower than "normal" but it's not to the point where our barges can't go through, at least where I am. But we also haven't had hardly any rain for several weeks, maybe an inch in 3 weeks. Good for the farmers to get their crops in dry, but not good for the river or for our fields long term, even in the fall when the crops have finished growing.
I'm with you. It's been so dry here in eastern Missouri that the ground is like dust, terrible. We had good rain the first weekend in September, that's the last measurable rain we've had.
