In the Southwest, rain is more potent than Wall street and as much so as Washington. Other states haven't been so lucky yet. Scattered rains have helped some. And in Missouri and eastern Kansas they hope that the April showers will come along on schedule to save the wheat crop.

But some towns in that area are shipping in their drinking water in tank cars, while trying rainmaking schemes. TCfee toH of drought elsewhere in the nation is high.
