Northeast drought grips farms and crowds leaf peepers
The Northeast suffers one of its worst droughts, with 8 to 16 inches below average rainfall and record dry spells from Maine to New Jersey. Farmers report failing crops, early color loss in foliage and small pumpkins, while water restrictions bite suburban lawns and towns consider penalties. Drought emergency declarations affect Delaware and New Jersey communities as wells drop and wildlife faces saltwater intrusion.
