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.

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.
