| episode_narrative | Generally dry weather that began in August continued through November. Dry surface and soil conditions became quite pronounced in November. Water levels fell, especially in small streams and lakes. Damage to winter wheat crops was feared. The area experienced one of the driest fall (September through November) periods on record. Unusually warm weather during the month contributed to the drying.One noticeable manifestation of the dry conditions was a number of grass fires. While damage was mainly limited to the grasslands, considerable manpower and expense was needed to fight the fires. Burning had to be restricted, causing some economic impact. Although most of the fires did not start naturally, the extremely dry conditions and in some cases strong winds exacerbated the fires. |
