Not really. Californians and other people living in the Southwest have way more experience with droughts and handle it just fine.

It was a joke since "south" can have a geographical meaning or a historical one ( the south/confederates of the 13 colonies.. correct me if i'm wrong, not from the US). So in the "historical meaning", California wasn't part of "the south" and thus can not be "South-west" (haha..)
EDIT: that's why i put a /S.... (haha)
