Virginia is under drought warning as farmers forecast first crop failures in 10 years

While most of the United States is enduring a searing heat wave, just one state suffers from widespread drought.

A severe drought in the state, home to more than eight million Americans, jeopardizes agricultural and water availability and might trigger disastrous wildfires.
