By Doyle Rice, USA Today
The dry times are back.
Drought has returned with a vengeance across much of the United States, with the worst conditions across southern and western parts of the nation.
As of Thursday, 38.4 percent of the continental U.S. is in a drought, according to the U.S. Drought Monitor. That is the highest percentage since the 40 percent recorded in May 2014.
