In extreme drought: 80% of Kansas and Nebraska and 90% of Missouri

The pithy adage about Nebraska's Platte river is: "a mile wide and a foot deep," but this summer's drought has left it, in the words of a KETV report (left) aired yesterday, "a boneyard for decaying fish."
     West of Columbus, the Platte River is dry from bank to bank.
     It still flows to the east, due to inflow from the Loup and Elkhorn, but they're both low.
     Last year's flooding caused Walleye and other fish not normally seen in the Platte to swim upstream from the Missouri.
     Those fish are now dead.
     The cactus in the montage is cardboard, made by someone to whom KETV attributed a very dry sense of humor.
    UPDATE: Droughts can also destabilize home foundations.
