If by anywhere you mean a small part of one country, then you would be correct.
Update: The title has been changed, it originally said that this year there were no acorns anywhere.

Sounds to me like it's pretty significant portion of the US.

> But many skeptics say oaks in other regions are producing plenty of acorns
A month ago my father-in-law and his relatives were exchanging missing-acorn stories, because the big oaks in his yard (I don't know what species) didn't produce any this year, and he's curious. He seems to think it was fairly unusual, and he's lived with those trees for decades and decades.
I guess it's not just him.
It would appear that something is up. Let's all hope that it's something transient.
But many skeptics say oaks in other regions are producing plenty of acorns, and the acorn bust here is nothing more than the extreme of a natural boom-and-bust cycle.
And quotes from posts on internet discussion groups are hardly a reliable census method.
