"Flash droughts" in the grain belt.

Ran across this story this morning about the increasing frequency of "flash droughts" or intense droughts that come on suddenly. This story is about a current drought in Montana's Missouri river basin that is devastating the wheat crop and cattle ranching. One of the more alarming statements in the story was about how the state of Kansas is drying out and will resemble south Texas in a few years.

 Paul, thanks for posting this.  I probably sound like a broken record, but I saw all this coming in 2008 and https://www.jeannemayell.com/a-message-to-pat…ychics-viewpoint /" target="true">posted the prediction in 2010 on my website, and then again in 2011 along with some visions going to the end of the century.  Sometimes the old posts don't come up because the software has changed so much since then, so here is the whole thing:

Title of Post: World Psychic Visions to the End of the Century 

2012 - 2030: First comes chaotic energy in America and no real leadership beginning around 2017.  (This came true)

2025 -2030: a cactus appears in my inner vision over the U.S. Heartland. The mood is somber. This is one the largest bread baskets in the world.  I saw a man trying to get water from a pipe but there was none.

I also got a bad feeling about the American south-west.  It was a crisis of drought and habitability. This nearly replicates an earlier reading  of the same time period.

This is the beginning of serious decline in food production around the world, which brings more dire consequences than sea level rise. We can live with rising seas but we cannot live without food or water.

2030-2100: The rise of the local family farm.  

I continue to resonate with predictions of  climatologist James Hanson and writer Bill McKibben who warn of  chaotic weather and increasingly virulent and unseasonable storms and droughts. Hanson predicts up to 17 foot sea rise by 2100 and a climatic feedback system that continues heating up the planet long after we stop burning fossil fuels. I feel more sea rise than that.  Large-scale factory farming will no longer be feasible because of higher cost of fossil fuels together with their inability to adapt to the changing weather patterns, expanding the use of local organic farms.  Coastlines changing and farming moving northward to Canada's cooler climates.

I had a dream the other day of Mount St Helens erupting. I could see it in the distant sky. And in the dream I heard the words "move north"
