But it is ridiculous. Tropical storms carry tons of water in them, that is not new. this one had the bad luck of meeting an equal and opposite front from the north. The storm wanted to work north, and a front wanted to push it south. So it sat there for 2-3 days. Right on the coast so it could constantly bring gulf water south of he storm up and drop it east of the storm. It rains hard a lot in Houston, comparing it to the drizzle Seattle gets is just disengenous, but it sounded good. That's all that matters.
Maybe global warming is happening, maybe not, but to take a concept you don't begin to understand, ignore the human element and basically take a victory lap around your proud beliefs that I bet you have no formal training in, outside of social media is disgusting.

I agree 100% with the sentiment. NOW is not the time to debate the role of climate change on this storm. There will be plenty of time for that later.
Have we already forgotten how we collectively felt when internet posters and commentators said that Calgary got what it deserved in 2013? It was BS then and its BS now.
There is a humanitarian crisis developing (actually happening) before our very eyes. Let's keep that and the people impacted in our thoughts, not wage some silly dick measuring contest.
