Wildfires, water conservation measures, and streams running at a trickle are all symptoms of the current drought, which expanded this week across more of North Carolina. #NCwx

June is National #PetPreparednessMonth. Be sure to keep your pets in mind when practicing your evacuation plan. Practice evacuating in the car with your pets, so they’re more comfortable if you need to evacuate in an emergency. More tips at spr.ly/6010Ot5jw. #ReadyNC
