Tree rings show the Americas are prone to catastrophic, simultaneous droughts

It makes sense, a lot of native Americans cultures have either very specific rain rituals (including sacrifices) or stories of drought.

Reminds me of those stones found in some European rivers, with inscriptions about droughts from hundreds years ago.

Sometimes some climate change is just a climate "better observation".

> Reminds me of those stones found in some European rivers

Hunger stones. Carved in one was the phrase, "If you see me, weep". [1]

Similar to the tsunami stones in Japan, where humans left carved stones that say things like, "High dwellings are the peace and harmony of our descendants. Remember the calamity of the great tsunamis. Do not build any homes below this point." [2]

There's also the story of Joseph and the Famine in the bible - 7 years of bountiful harvests followed by 7 years of famine brought on by a severe drought.
