Thunderstorms, Wind and Climate Change: Scientists say storms like those that battered Houston could become more intense as the planet warms, though pinning down trends is still challenging.

Had a storm Monday that got my heart pumping. And I'm from Tulsa and live on the Hurricane Coast. No stranger to wild weather is what I'm saying.
I feel pretty secure where I'm at. Almost the highest point in the local area, everything is downhill from here with plenty of swamp and creek to take the overflow. Far enough inland that only a direct hit by a major hurricane would reach. House built to hurricane specs. (Habitat for Humanity home, well above code for structure and energy efficiency. Not so much on doorknobs and faucets. 😄)
Monday's boomer had me frightened for my home. Point being, even those of us who are "secure", are not.
