What drying runs into in Midway
Serving Midway and the surrounding area.
Local housing stock
Roughly 174 of Midway's 296 homes went up before 1990, putting the median build year at 1980; what dries in place and what comes out follows from that. Around a median of 1980 with nearly six in ten houses older, the town grew up around cotton handling, and the yard where the wagons and trucks turned and stood is compacted ground that has never recovered.
Climate & seasonal risk
On the 1991–2020 normals, Midway gets 52.97 inches a year with March heaviest at 5.76, and the drying season runs from a 46.3-degree January to a 79.7-degree July; rain recorded at MIDWAY 4.1 miles away and temperatures at UNION SPRINGS 9 S 13.7 miles away. March is the wettest month at 5.76 inches of a 53-inch year and no month averages a freeze, so the heaviest rain lands in early spring; compacted ground sheds that rather than absorbing it, and sends it toward whatever is downhill.
How water losses tend to end in Midway
- Hard-packed ground that sheds rather than absorbs, so runoff is out of proportion to the area
- A large flat area with no drainage built for it, so the water leaves in whatever direction it can
- Houses downhill of it, so a property takes runoff generated on land it has no part in
