| episode_narrative | After an abnormally wet June, the rest of the summer was very dry. By the end of August, far southeast Missouri was on the verge of a severe drought, according to the Palmer Drought Index. Total rainfall from July 1 through the end of August was less than an inch at many locations in and near the Bootheel. The areas least affected by the drought were north and west of Cape Girardeau, where thunderstorms produced torrential rain early in the month. Many crops suffered from the dry weather, especially soybeans. The corn crop fared reasonably well, mainly due to heavy spring rains, which allowed it to mature before the drought set in. Fields and shrubs dried out and turned brown, contributing to very high fire danger. Cape Girardeau County instituted an outdoor burning ban due to a rash of small brush fires. |
