August 2000 - Episode NarrativeThe month was also extremely dry, with many areas not receiving any rain for the month. This increased the grass fire danger and prompted water rationing for some areas. It also pushed most of North Texas deeper into a severe drought. By the end of the month, no measurable rainfall had been recorded at the D/FW Airport (the official site for the Dallas/Ft. Worth Metroplex) for 62 days. This broke the record for the longest period without measurable rainfall in the Metroplex. The old record was 58 days from Nov 4 - Dec 31, 1950.
