JLA, I suggest you refer to the drought monitor. Extreme drought for 10 months over the entire states of Texas and Oklahoma is not a "frequent occurence".

Texas has seen only 7.5 inches of rain this year through August, says state climatologist John Nielsen-Gammon. The previous record low for January-to-August moisture in Texas was 10.56 inches in 1956. The last significant rainfall was in September 2010, he says. "It's the worst one-year drought ever," Nielsen-Gammon says.
