BIRMINGHAM, Ala. — A soggy December has helped much of the South recover from a drought that dried up reservoirs and turned crops and lawns to straw for the past two years, according to a federal report released Thursday.
A year ago, thousands of square miles across the region were considered in “extreme” or “exceptional” drought, the government’s two worst categories. But the latest U.S. Drought Monitor shows a wet December has helped dramatically, with none of the region currently in the worst category of drought.
