						People walk down a flooded street as they evacuate their homes after the area was inundated with flooding from Hurricane Harvey on Aug. 28, 2017 in Houston, Texas. Harvey, which made landfall north of Corpus Christi late Friday evening, is expected to dump upwards to 40 inches of rain in Texas over the next couple of days.		</figcaption>

But the question of whether human-caused climate change might have contributed to what is now the heaviest five-day rain in the history of the contiguous United States was already circulating.</p>
<p>In discussing the Texas deluge, Martin Hoerling, a meteorologist at Boulder&#8217;s National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, pointed to a study made on torrential rains that dumped 25 inches in southern Louisiana in August 2016.</p>
<p>Human-caused climate warming increased the intensity of the torrential Louisiana rains by at least 10 percent, according to a team of NOAA and partner scientists with World Weather Attribution. The same report stated that the likelihood of such an event had been raised 40 percent by global warming.</p>
<p>&#8220;They had rains of 25 inches or so, so 10 percent of that is 2 &frac12; inches&#8221; contributed by climate change, Hoerling said. &#8220;If you apply that to the Texas storm this year, you might be saying 4 inches of the 40 was related to warmer, more moist air from global warming. That is not definitive, though. That is sort of speculative at this time.&#8221;</p>

<p>World Weather Attribution is considering whether to conduct a similar &#8220;attribution analysis&#8221; of Tropical Storm Harvey once all rainfall figures are recorded.</p>
<p>The unofficial five-day total from Harvey in some Texas locations reached 51 inches on Tuesday, Hoerling said. That easily tops the previous five-day record for the contiguous U.S., which was 48 inches from Tropical Storm Amelia in Medina, Texas, July into August 1978.</p>

			At 104, Pearl Harbor survivor Navy Lt. Jim Downing was a confidant of presidents and a star of national television. From talk shows to a profile in Time magazine, Downing was feted as the second-oldest man who endured the events of Dec. 7, 1941. But Downing, who died from complications after surgery Tuesday, loved talking with school kids the most.		</div>
