Why did Hurricane Harvey lead to such serious flooding in Texas in 2017.
Answer:
The amount of water that a tropical storm brings onto land is largely proportional to the temperature of the air and of the water that it passes over. With climate change both of those have increased and so Hurricane Harvey brought a tremendous amount of water onto land. It then stalled over the Houston area of Texas and dropped most of that water in that area.
