The drought in Georgia and other parts of the southeast is really starting the hit the new. I suppose this might be because CNN is headquartered in Atlanta, but it also looks quite extreme.
That surprises me that it has gone so far that the governor is asking for disaster status. I had heard about the drought last summer, but when I was staying at the Marriott for DragonCon last month I don't recall seeing any 'Help Us Save Water' notices at the hotel. I've seen them at hotels I've stayed at in the west, specifically an option for not having your bedsheets changed every day, so they can save water on laundry. Do they just have more practice with droughts in the west than in the south?
