A Giant White Hurricane

With Hurricane Harvey making landfall in Texas as a Category 4 hurricane and dumping rain from Corpus Christi to Houston measurable not just in inches and feet but also in yards - yards - and numerous aftereffects such as interminable power outages, tornadoes, nasty wind gusts, and flooding that could make much of the Texas coast uninhabitable well into 2018, I just have one thing to ask the voters of the Lone Star State, the majority of whom voted for Trump in November 2016 . . .   
Now do you believe in climate change?
Gee whizbangers, even our Secretary of State, Rex Tillerson, currently your most prominent native son, believes that climate change is real, and he headed a company that hid evidence of it!
Just be thankful that my congressman, House Appropriations Committee chairman Rodney Frelinghuysen, who's from New Jersey, will likely approve relief money for the cleanup.  As I recall, some folks in your part of the country didn't want to help New Jersey after Sandy.
