Ohio was also experiencing one of the worst droughts in history. The trees were losing leaves (but not turning colors), yes, but not because it was fall and they were turning colors as normal, no, because of the drought, and they were dying! My father has several fruit trees and none of them prodced this year because of the drought, and my parents' garden dried up (they don't believe in having to water the garden)... also, my parents don't have city water, they have a cistern and a well, so those were dry too, and they had to order a lot more water than normal (which is more expensive than being hooked up to city water)... ugh... -emily When I moved back to Ohio in October, I was very surprised and dissapointed that the weather was 90-100 degrees!
