Nash county needs rain. The creek is dried up bedsides a few puddles. No fish and dead claims. The pond at Rock Mount Memorial park is showing signs of drying up. A pond on old carriage road is dried up and you can see the cracks in the dirt. We have to water the garden more. Several trees have lost their leaves due to the lack of rain. We haven't seen over an inch of rain since about four weeks. Farmers have to keep the fields moist due to the lack of rain. We had several brush fires in the county due to the dry ground. They were control fires then they got out of hand. CoCoRaHS Report from Station #Battleboro 7.2 W on 8/30/2016
