We Are Seeing Heat And Drought In The Southwest United States Like We Haven\u2019t Seen Since The Dust Bowl Of The 1930s<\/a><\/h3>\n<\/header>\n
\n

\"\"<\/a>Despite all of the other crazy news that is happening all around the world, the top headlines on Drudge on Monday evening were all about the record heatwave that is currently pummeling the Southwest.\u00a0 Of course it is always hot during the summer, but the strange weather that we have been witnessing in recent months is unlike anything that we have seen since the Dust Bowl days of the 1930s.\u00a0 At this moment, almost the entire Southwest is in some stage of drought<\/a>.\u00a0 Agricultural production has been absolutely devastated, major lakes, rivers and streams are rapidly becoming bone dry<\/a>, and wild horses are dropping dead because they don\u2019t have any water to drink.\u00a0 In addition, we are starting to see enormous dust storms strike major cities such as Las Vegas and Phoenix, and the extremely dry conditions have already made this one of the worst years for wildfires in U.S. history<\/a>.\u00a0 What we are facing is not \u201capocalyptic\u201d quite yet, but it will be soon if the rain doesn\u2019t start falling.<\/p>\n

Large portions of Arizona, New Mexico, Colorado and Utah are already at the highest level of drought on the scale.\u00a0 In Arizona, things are so bad that wild horses have been dropping dead by the dozens<\/a>, and now authorities are trying to save those that are left<\/a>\u2026<\/p>\n

For what they say is the first time, volunteer groups in Arizona and Colorado are hauling thousands of gallons of water and truckloads of food to remote grazing grounds where springs have run dry and vegetation has disappeared.<\/p>\n

Federal land managers also have begun emergency roundups in desert areas of Utah and Nevada.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
