Tropical Major Hurricane Harvey

No but the water temperature and amount of water vapor available certainly is which will increase the odds of stronger storms and a weakening flow aloft which worsens flooding. And that's a stupid argument anyway because we have been altering the course of weather events ever since we put the first ounce of CO2 or any other green house gases in the atmosphere.

Could there be anything more insensitive than having this debate right here, rioht now. There's a time and a place. There's also a time and place to just be human. Come on.

You were right. Cue the blame the storm on global warming crowd :p. Yes, in reality, these storms just happen. It's sad, but they do happen. It's a rare event, and this amount of rain has happened before. In fact, if anyone screams global warming, they need to look at the last time this magnitude of an event occurred in that area, which was decades ago. If they wanted to try to make a case, we would have to have had an increased frequency in major landfalls that produce major flooding.
 
Please go away. Or take it to another forum. Not the place for that. Not now. Thanks.
 
The river in Houston just broke the all time record last year for high levels and is going to break it again soon.

Seriously what is this guy's problem. We have a disaster of cataclysmic proportions unfolding in Houston & we're more concerned about whether or not the water is covering the tops of interstate signs? For real, what tf is the difference between 18 & 25 feet of standing water, there comes a point where it doesnt really matter anymore, it's catastrophic flooding regardless...

Good grief. A flood is a flood. Who cares about perception. If it is covering the roads that much, it's extreme.

Haven't been able to be as active and won't be for this fall because I'll be very busy, but I would like to drop in on this Sunday and (even though there are no Houston posters here), say how sorry I am to see the Houston flood, and I hope those affected are able to pull through it safely.

A flood is a flood, and it is a disaster no matter how you want to measure it.
 
Crazy totals on the HRRR and it wouldn't be shocking if they were underdone in some places. The moisture fetch right out of the gulf is insane
