Really, it's very dry down here, has been all summer. Here is the rainfall for the past month. Interesting to see the bullseye in Ocean County where they got between 5" to 8" rain. Meanwhile, I live in the "dry belt" with amounts ranging from 0.5" to 2". I would say that my home has received towards the upper end of that amount. But the woods are really dry and the creek is low although I've seen worse.
Here is the USGS waterwatch map that shows dry conditions throughout the pines. This is not nearly so bad as it has been at other times over the past few years though. Interesting that it doesn't seem to have much relation to the rain totals over the past month, it's almost the opposite. I think these maps are based on streamflow.
