Oklahoma. combining the last year and so far this year we are about 16 inches below normal and we recieved our first rain just a few days ago since the Beginning of May (which is our wettest month about 5 in. average) when we got about an inch of rain. Not to mention remember our wildfires? We lost about 600,000 acres of land. The florida ones burned about 10,000. Also remember Texas. Not to mention Oklahoma is one of the leading crop producers so it actually matters to the nation what happens here.

Check out the National Drought Mitigation Center's (NDMC) website where you can find the U.S. Drought Monitor:

Also look at the NDMC's new tool the Drought Impact Reporter:

Many of the southwestern and southern great plains states have extremely dry conditions and damaging impacts being reported. To pick the worst, to me, is not possible or beneficial because your idea of "bad" or "severe" is relative to how the dry conditions are affecting you.

Arizona was having the worst drought in the nation when I lived there this winter. I believe it hit about 126 days in a row without measurable precipitation (a couple of times there was a trace). It finally rained about 2 weeks before the end of March, so we could say, "Aha, that's what rain looks like."

In the U.S? Well, I dont think any state is having a terrible drought right now but the state who would have a drought soon is probaly Arizona maybe?

Lots of states are having a bad drought. I know Arizona is waaaaay below average - I don't think we've had more than 1 day of decent rain all year. We didn't have any rain during the winter and everything is dry and there are tons of forest fires.

Thats a simple one, its New Mexico, because of the lack of rain and so many fires there is hardly any plant life there.
