" the SIZE of storms"

The amount of water a storm can hold is up, thanks to warming. That means there's more inland flooding, to go along with the increased storm surge caused by, among other variables, rising sea levels. The good news is that Bummer will tell us none of this is happening.

Nonsense, all storms go through a life cycle... Starting from a mere tropical depression, building to a peak and dissipating after a they make landfall... It's ridiculous and dishonest to call Katrina and Sandy cat 1 and 2 storms, and belittle the damage wrought by them. This is just another example of the climate change deniers campaign of lies and disinformation, all to support their agenda - support of the hydrocarbon industry and profit from disasters

Katrina was only a CAT 2 when it came ashore, but once again it was the sheer size of the storm that caused the massive destruction.

I think was graded as a CAT 3 when it hit.

No coincidence they built the French quarter on high ground. NO was a sitting duck. The levees were known to be a problem 60 years prior.
