This is the 58th consecutive day without a measurable trace of rain. It ties the record set in 1934 and it looks like we'll break the record tomorrow. The National Weather Service has already predicted the dry stretch could last well into September, or longer. The drought has some looking to the heavens for relief. One small church congregation has baptisms out at Lake Lewisville every month.
Church members say they have watched the water level drop significantly.
It is also affecting rental businesses. Jimmy Selby says people aren't taking their boats on the lake out of fear they will be damaged. He says rentals of personal water craft is slow too.
