I believe the rain issue was related to the concept that the storm ran into inland pressure, and stalled over the area, delivering rain for a longer than usual period.
The storm did move on, but not until it had dumped a massive amount of water it sucked up from the gulf.
If the weather over the inland area had been different, Harvey would have moved through faster and dropped a lot less water.
Others may shoot down this theory. It’s something I came up with to explain why the massive amount of rainfall?
“If the weather over the inland area had been different, Harvey would have moved through faster and dropped a lot less water.”
Besides, there’s an old Yiddish saying which, translated, says: “If your grandmother had balls, she’d be your grandfather.” “IF” is a very big word.
Sorry to bust you around over this, but I’m just tired of the “Global Warming” and “Climate Change” BS that’s being bandied about everywhere. It is PROVEN to be based on intentionally false (i.e. fraudulent) data, and is being pushed by Leftists who (thankfully) cannot think of a better way to gain control of the West. So I’m not really interested in WHY we had a big hurricane - we did, and that’s all. Puny mankind had not a damned thing to do with it, except being stupid enough to put the 4th largest city, and 40% of our petrochemical industry production, on the edge of a very large body of water known for frequently hosting big MF’ing hurricanes.
End of rant.
That's correct. A relatively rare pattern for August and then the "arm' of moisture lined up with Houston. Otherwise even with some stalling, it would have been less rain than Allison.
