episode_narrativeThe severe summer-long drought was greatly alleviated by heavy rains on October 8th and 9th. During the months of August and September, only about 0.75 inches of rain fell at the Farm Service Agency in East Prairie, Missouri. This deficit was partially offset by 4.03 inches of rain on October 8th and 9th. The rain came too late for most crops, except possibly for farmers sowing wheat. Burning bans were rescinded. The request for Cape Girardeau residents to conserve water was dropped. No rain fell during the rest of the month, so despite the heavy rain, drought concerns were renewed by November.
