The Drought: A Novel

John Steinbeck's 1939 novel "The Grapes of Wrath" explains the dust storm of the 1930s. "Every moving object carries dust into the air, the walking person lifts the thin layer to the waist, the carriage lifted the dust to a high place, the car at the top of the fence a cloud behind it. Dust has gone away for a long time. "In August 2012, the drought continued beyond 70% of the US. 33 state counties were designated by the government as "disaster counties". Early in 2013, the drought still affected more than 60% of the land.

Drought has bothered the US, and the most famous is the "dust bowl". A serious drought has an impact on domestic agriculture. Drought is still a common problem and the National Integrated Drought Information System (NIDIS) was issued in 2006 to predict and alert the drought situation. Since the same year, California experienced a drought of five years. This is just one of the biggest droughts over the dozen that occurred in the past decade. Floods are one of the most common natural disasters. Floods are not the most popular in that place. It is also the best in terms of property damage. Floods in Mississippi and Louisiana caused damage by Hurricane Katrina, 1,836 people died, and more people lost their homes and businesses. Flooding may occur in abnormal areas, such as long-term floods occurred in Colorado State in September 2013.

Previously, the drought proved to be a normal part of the climate, such as floods, hurricanes, tornadoes. It may seem odd to you if you have seen the impact of floods, tornadoes, and hurricanes on homes, trees, land. Droughts, floods, hurricanes, tornadoes are what we call natural disasters.
