Yeah, I don't think we have to worry about that, at least not for the time being. Other than 2 days of rain from Helene, this is the longest (3 months?) dry spell I've seen since moving here and it's not supposed to change in the foreseeable future.
Even though we got about 6"of rain from Helene, it's been so dry it was immediately sucked up by the ground. It hasn't rained a drop since then.
Droughts here in Tennessee are quickly noticeable, compared to California. The grass dies, then if it lasts long enough, various trees start browning out. In my area, the ground has a lot of rock/chert, so on the hills, the trees are shallow rooted and stress early. Lowlands are all rich soil, farming around here.
