yet there’s more fatalities with flooding.

Which are preventable, and thus don't matter.

How is flooding beneficial?

Thats like saying a Tornado is "relaxing breeze" or crystal meth is a "nice pick me up".

There was nothing beneficial about the last few days for Southeast Texas. A combo of geography, over development, destruction of wetlands, and climate change is not going to be kind to portions of the city.

No it is not. Much of Southeast Texas was either in drought or in near drought conditions. Even though flooding is not the way ideally that you would want a drought to end, Imelda did do just that. When you look at things rationally, as some of us do, You will come to the conclusion that drought is the worst of all weather conditions, because life literally cannot survive without water.

Too much of anything is never good....including rain.....drought or no drought.

Why don’t you try that great logic on those who just lost their loved ones or homes.

I understand what you mean but Jack does make valid points. Rain is always a good thing but tornadoes never are. Tropical storms of this magnitude never arrive without warning, and it's safe to say that anyone who chooses to live in Houston is willing to put up with torrential rains and flooding. Many of the casualties that happen could have been avoided.

As someone that's lived through several tornado warnings, I can tell you that they are much scarier. Those storms come out of nowhere, and there is often no time to reach safety.

Right...and Houston just delt with those too....while in the process of flooding.....i know...go figure.
