Even the landlocked Midwestern states get locked in drought patterns. Iowa for instance is just starting to come out of a 3 year drought. We’ve been in and out of them for the last 20+ years. And really only certain parts (mainly central and southern) are coming out of it now.

You hear way more about in California, and probably rightly so as their struggles run much deeper than ours, but droughts do occur all over the place — and impact *everything*.
