There are some news stories out there.  I don't watch the news but I'm subscribed to some news channels on YouTube, and they post water level and drought info almost daily.  You can probably find them by searching for "Lake Mead water level".

I don't think many people care about the water level or drought.  All they care about is whether something comes out of the tap when they turn it on, or whether the light comes on when they hit the switch.  Yesterday, the upper water supply intake (out of 3) became visible so the amount of water available is going down.  And somewhere around May 20 (about 2 weeks after when this post is written), the critical height of 1050 will be passed and 12 of the 17 generators will have to be shut down.  Now THAT will be a wakeup call!

Vermont, eh?  I lived in New Hampshire for about 20 years before Covid forced me to work at home.  Since I live in a travel trailer full time, I figured I'd move down to the sunny climes of Mesa, AZ where my daughter lives.  This was 2 years ago and even back then I was well aware of the drought because of my daughter.  Now I live here and I wonder what's going to happen in a couple weeks.  At least water in Mesa isn't as critical as western Arizona and southern California because there are some reservoirs that service the area east of Phoenix.  But electricity may be a different matter.  At least I can move my trailer easy enough.  If things get really bad, I'm moving to Florida.
