Bad karma. SAN ANTONIO -- The drought that has turned Texas and parts of the Plains into a parched moonscape of cracked earth could persist into next year, prolonging the misery of farmers and ranchers who have endured a dry spell now expected to be the state's worst since the 1950s. The U.S. Climate Prediction Center said Thursday that the La Niña weather phenomenon blamed for the lack of rain might be back soon, just two months after the last La Niña ended. If that happens, the drought would almost certainly extend into 2012. freep.com.
