but it doesn't surpass the 52 inches from tropical cyclone Hiki in Kauai, Hawaii, in 1950 (before Hawaii became a state).
No statehood, no care.

Don't talk to me like that

What does this have to do with climate change? So every major hurricane that occurs from now on is due to climate change?

Harvey has has now set a preliminary record, surpassing 50 inches for the greatest amount of measured single-storm rainfall for the continental US. Additional rainfall accumulations of 6 to 12 inches are expected to the north and east of Houston from far east Texas into southwestern Louisiana. This is producing devastating flooding. Numerous Flash Flood Warnings are in effect.
Per NWS

Every snowstorm, flood, hurricane, wildfire etc.. It's why they changed it from global warming

Yes. Every bad or unpleasant weather event is due to global warming. All will be well if you pay more taxes and vote Democrat.

For reference, Seattle only averages 38" of rain per year, Portland 43', and Mobile gets 66" per year. Mobile has the highest average rainfall per year in the U.S.

Please explain the mechanism by which carbon emissions cause a tropical system to stay in one place.
I'll hang up and listen.

That's the most awesome response I've seen in a while. Absolutely perfect and no reply by the global warming dweeb will be made.

It was a perfect storm. Stalled out in one of the most populated areas of America. Has nothing to do with climate change you clown

It's because he knows the two high pressure systems that pinned the storm in place are independent of climate change.
The only assumptive argument, without looking at sea surface temperature data, is that a warmer than usual Gulf lead to the unexpected rapid development of the storm. Thus allowing it to suck up large amounts of moisture that were dropped on SE Texas.
Now if you actually understand any of the arguments behind climate change, you would know that increased temperatures will lead to persistent El Niño conditions. This causes wind shear in the upper atmosphere, and reduces the chance for strong Hurricanes to form. Therefore you can't really blame Hurricanes on climate change.
