Lets see
One hurricane, and not a particularly strong one, altough it was quite spread out, that happened to hit one cold front and make landfall during high tide under a full moon, does not make a trend.
When you build your home or business on a barrier island, don't act surprised when a storm surge floods it. Likewise, when you build your business on a island just a few feet above sea level, and then spread miles and miles of underground tunnels way below sea level, don't be surprised when they flood during a storm.
Instead of reporting on one natural disaster in the northeast, why don't you report on the very, very normal weather in the southwest at the same time, and call that a trend?
There's a lake just outside of Austin that has a spillway at 715 feet above mean sea level. There is one subdivision where people have built "lakefront" or "lake view" homes in the 695-710' range. So-called "full" is at 681 feet. These people gripe and moan every 10 years when their homes flood, and expect the government to take care of them. What the heck is wrong with people?
