If there were a trend in extreme rainfall, the USHCN stations you don't like would show it. They didn't. I note you failed to show any stations that did. Lost again. The nearest USHCN station to Houston is Liberty, 40 miles away. Below is the whisker plot for daily rainfall there. http://cdiac.ornl.gov/cgi-bin/broker?_PROGRAM=prog.climsite_daily.sas&_SERVICE=default&id=415196&_DEBUG=0 See, no trend. You pretended Liberty wasn't relevant and suggested the Intercontinental Airport here would be better. You offered no graph like that above that showed a trend in rainfall there either of course. You didn't know that Liberty is pretty close to the airport by Houston metro standards: See where Liberty TX is on the above map. Go due west to Kingwood and Humble - those areas are part of the city of Houston and Houston extends 40 - 50 miles south from there depending on where you would measure. Due west of the dot labeled Humble is a gray area on the map. That's the airport you think is a better station though you don't have any historical data from it. And the pics of flooding you posted mostly came from due west of Liberty. IOW on the north side of the metro area, the same side Liberty is on. If you connected (1)the Cypresswood Wimbledon area flooding area you posted with (2)Liberty and with (3) downtown Houston, you'd have a triangle. The top would horizontal and straight east to west, the west side would be straight vertical north to south. The top and west side of the triangle would be roughly equal. IOW Liberty is on the same side of the Houston metro area as the airport, just east of the airport.
