When you look at drought maps at year intervals it sure seems like we've been dealing with the very same belt of drought since 2007, when it first showed up in the American South, and has been moving at a glacial pace westwards ever since. Maybe this is a repeating pattern? And if it is a pattern it's still heading west today, with increasing drought in the Pacific NW and less in California. Eventually it'll pass out to sea, with maybe a new drought starting up in the South and starting the cycle over again.
