'Once in a generation' drought may become new norm for Southeast.

Over 100,000 acres of forests have burned across
. . . 7 states in the southeastern U.S. since October,
. . . prompting mass evacuations, and
. . . leaving behind puzzled residents.
. . . who are now wondering,
When will the rains come?

“Consecutive dry periods are predicted to occur as a result of,
. . . anthropogenic [man-made] climate change.
. . . These trends make larger area burns, and
. . . more fires perhaps more likely in the future.”
