A Florida map showing drought conditions lists the Villages as serious drought. Some cities have us beat. They are experiencing extreme drought. Others are experiencing moderate drought. 14.5 million people are affected.
The first post's premise may have come credibility. You mention cities being drought areas; they're full of hot asphalt parking lots, roads, and roofs, and tons of air conditioners.

But worry not: In a few months you'll wish we got hit by less thunderstorms and rain !
