Indiana drought

Indiana's drought is intensifying after weeks of scant rainfall that have left cropland parched, raised the risk of wildfires and sent homeowners scrambling to water lawns fading from green to brown. The federal government's U.S. Drought Monitor map updated Thursday, June 14, 2012 shows nearly 90 percent of Indiana is now abnormally dry.(AP Photo/The Elkhart Truth, Jennifer Shephard)
