The stream has run dry for the first time in memory.

(by me)

I wonder if my sentence is correct.

 

[Tarheel]

Yes, that's possible.

 

[Tarheel]

I don't remember where it is anymore, but there is a creek in this county called Dry Creek. (Arguably, if it's dry it isn't running at all, but that is indeed the way they say it.)

 

[Rover_KE]

Indeed, it is. In fact, I've never heard 'in memory' (in this context).

 

[Tarheel]

I can imagine somebody saying that.
