If you read another thread (now deleted I think), you might have noticed that Eric and I are very similar in age, both having been born in 1959 -- not young but not that old, either. From some things you said, I figured you are a few years older.

Regarding these supposedly random storms, Chucky, it appears that they may not be so random after all. Harvey was the third "500 year storm" in the Houston area in the past 3 years.

As it turned out, it was both hotter and wetter than average in July, which is as expected with global warming.
