With all due respect sir, the rain fell in the Texas and Ark-La-Tex regions as well as the mid west. It was shunted to the north by the persistent ridge of High pressure that lasted for nearly 5 months. There was a nit more rain to the far south but the weather systems we usually get went north...this one I will bet the house on...

"ONE YEAR AGO: A drought of historical proportions began gripping the Southeast U.S. in 2007, and despite some small relief in recent weeks from light rains late in the year, rainfall deficits continues to grow in many areas. In January, abnormally dry conditions were limited to the area from the Smokies down into western Georgia. That had expanded across the northern half of Alabama by the end of February. By the end of March, moderate to severe drought covered much of eastern Tennessee and Alabama. Through April and May, the drought area grew until it covered much of the Southeast. In June, things got worse, as exceptional drought conditions centered on Alabama. Some gains were made in July, but by the end of August, exception drought conditions covered southern Tennessee, much of Alabama, northern Georgia and southwestern North Carolina. The area of exceptional drought actually expanded through October and November with little relief in December. As the year came to a close, the latest seasonal outlook through March indicated that the drought would persist."
