Hurricane Harvey pummeled southern Texas all weekend, causing apocalyptic flooding. Worse, several more days of torrential rainfall are in the cards, as Harvey is predicted to slowly wander slightly back out to sea and then make landfall again in a day or two. Several deaths have already been confirmed, and forecasters estimate there will be up to 50 inches of rain in the worst-hit areas.

Only one major hurricane has struck the continental U.S. in the last 15 years.

I think we can survive that.

"The most terrifying force of death, comes from the hands of Men who wanted to be left Alone. They try, so very hard, to mind their own business and provide for themselves and those they love. They resist every impulse to fight back, knowing the forced and permanent change of life that will come from it. They know, that the moment they fight back, their lives as they have lived them, are over. -Alexander Solzhenitsyn

Well then this proves Congress needs to get busy to pass laws to stop hurricanes

I have little interest in streamlining government or in making it more efficient, for I mean to reduce its size. I do not undertake to promote welfare, for I propose to extend freedom. My aim is not to pass laws, but to repeal them.

After Katrina we were informed by the "experts" that we could expect multiple hurricanes like Katrina every year.
This is the first major hurricane since Katrina, and it's actually now a tropical storm that's doing the damage.
After twelve years of much less minor storms, a huge disaster-type hurricane was inevitable somewhere on the coast.

The desperate grasping for a climate change narrative by the left on Harvey is cartoon character level antics.
