Southwest US (including OK) to experience superdrought?

Yes, I see snowflakes outside my window here in downtown Oklahoma City. Yet, the latest news is that climate change will lead to a super-drought here in the Sooner State and throughout the Southwestern United States.

And with the Southwest being one of the fastest-growing regions of the United States, water shortages are likely.

By the way, over breakfast this morning, I asked a friend if he felt the United States would experience a break-up, such as Vermont and other New England states breaking off or Washington, Oregon, Idaho and northern California becoming "Cascadia" or somesuch. Well, he said he doubted it and that we would remain united. Now, whether the District of Columbia or Puerto Rico will become states, it remains to be seen.
