Dallas, huh? Well just a little ways down the road in Austin we've been 51 days without rain which is the eighth longest period on record. If you expand your field of view just a little then Texas looks more like average.
Stop zeroing in with your microscope on one spot that proves some point you're out to make. You appear dishonest when you do that.
At the core of today's Fasco-Communist Democrats (they're not Liberals) is dishonesty, hypocrisy and Authoritarianism. Big Government, Big Corporation control freaks.
Wait...what is it you folks always say? Oh yeah...
Weather, not climate. Try again.
How many 1 in 1000 events in 30 days would it take to get your attention, not just local events but over many different regions not to mention all the warming across the globe, China, Europe, Russia.

You DO have to average things out here because there can be such radical weather microcosms and extrapolating a larger picture from them is dumb. But you wouldn't know that now would you, Long Islander?
I feel like you're about four more words from saying a rain of frogs.
Thank you for enlightening me about MY weather that YOU didn't know anything about until I called you out on your misplaced focus on Dallas as some sort of harbinger of doom.
The point was the rainfall in Dallas and the damage by the weather event, it's not a hurricane it's a storm so why wouldn't some areas escape the thrust of the event. Yes of course some areas escape these events, so.
Clearly the Sun God is displeased because our tithes have been inadequate. There is only one solution. We should hold games in his honor and sacrifice a virgin.
East Dallas (for example) is approximately 1:200,00th of the US.
So, if you chopped up the US like that, there would be roughly 200 events of the 1 in 1000th variety EVERY YEAR.
It's especially humerous when we have thread after thread about the droughts and low river levels being global warming yet here is the prediction for more flooding.
There is just so much anti-science around this topic it's annoying.

The point of your post is changing now that I've educated you about typical weather patterns in Texas. At first your argument was that Dallas is evidence of climate change (see below quote) and now you're backing off to calling it a weather event and I see no more of your original linkage to "a warmer climate".

I suppose you should ask to have this thread closed having just refuted your original argument. Thanks for playing. Be more prepared and better luck next time.

Well, whenever we have a record cold, record snowfall, or any other local "weather" that runs counter to the MMGW narrative, that is the #1 expected retort from The Cult - weather, not climate.
Should it not work the same way for all localized phenomena? You'd think, but the surest sign of cult-like thinking is 100% zealous acceptance of that which agrees with a narrative, and 100% angry, hostile dismissal of anything which does not agree.
For instance, the "17 Year Pause" which when reported in 2014, had The Cult in a pretty furious tizzy to discredit the observable plateau in global mean temp dismissed as just natural weather cycles inside the otherwise catastrophic warming climate. A single day/month/year low temp anywhere dismissed immediately as weather, or even funnier, record cold snaps being credited as absolute proof of warmer weather? But now new reports are predicting a single year in the next decade most likely spiking at 1.5 degC above pre-Industrial levels, and that single year spike will definitively prove global warming?
Wait...I thought single year anything was weather? Oh yeah...gotta apply cult behavior and filter. If the single year event agrees, then PROOF! If single year event runs counter, then WEATHER, please dismiss, return to step one.
Now, I will sip tea as you regale me with a dozen or so "yeah buts" and marvelous pedantic tap dances that explain how whatever agrees with your narrative is climate and whatever disagrees is just a temporary weather event that is meh.

See above. A standard set of NPC responses you can set your clocks to, it's so perfectly reliable and predictable.
