| episode_narrative | The winter of 1995-1996 had below normal precipitation over all of Southeast Texas. This trend continued into April of 1996. Conditions have become so serious that this dry spell is now being referred to the drought of 1996. Through the first 4 months of 1996 the rainfall amounts have been less than 50% normal with some areas only receiving only 30% of their normal rainfall. The lack of rainfall has created hazardous conditions for wildfires throughout Southeast Texas especially in the forests of East Texas. If the drought continues, losses to agricultural products will be in the billions of dollars. Estimated property damage for Southeast Texas so far is $2 million, with agricultural losses at $8 million. |
