<meta property="og:description" content="Hurricane Harvey will bring some of the heaviest downpours anyone has ever seen.
But its worst feature is still to come: several days of what could be some of the most intense rainfall this nation has ever recorded, a clear signal of climate change.
After a destructive storm surge washed away homes, and winds as strong as 132 mph blew away roofs and left hundreds of thousands without power, Harvey is expected to stall, drastically worsening the risk of catastrophic inland flooding from relentless rains.
As of Saturday morning, nearly 15 inches had already been recorded as bands of heavy thunderstorms streamed onshore from the warm Gulf of Mexico, with at least five more days of heavy rain on the way.
Some high-resolution models predict even more.
(For reference, the estimated 1-in-100-year seven-day rainfall total for the region is just 18 inches.)
Forecasters racked their brains to recall a scenario so dire anywhere in the world; a 2015 typhoon hitting the Philippines produced a similar amount of rain, but over a much smaller area.
All thunderstorms, including hurricanes, can produce more rain in a warmer atmosphere, which boosts the rate of evaporation and the water-holding capacity of clouds.
Some of the worst flooding in the region’s history has come from slow-moving storms like Harvey.
But flooding is what kills most people in hurricanes, and that will only get worse." />

<p>Hurricane Harvey <a href="https://twitter.com/blkahn/status/901458215363334144">made landfall</a> late Friday night on the Texas coast as <a href="https://twitter.com/philklotzbach/status/901454599541805058">one of the most intense hurricanes in U.S. history</a>, spawning <a href="https://twitter.com/KathrynProciv/status/901451729274908672">as many as 50 tornado warnings</a> in the Houston area alone.</p>
<p>But its worst feature is still to come: several days of what could be some of the most intense rainfall this nation has ever recorded, a clear signal of climate change.</p>
<p>After a destructive storm surge <a href="https://twitter.com/ReedTimmerAccu/status/901488167458672640">washed away homes,</a> and winds <a href="https://twitter.com/NWSCorpus/status/901480027157671937">as strong as 132 mph</a> blew away roofs and left <a href="http://www.chron.com/news/houston-weather/hurricaneharvey/article/Houston-still-has-power-power-loss-for-hundreds-11968986.php">hundreds of thousands without power</a>, Harvey is expected to stall, drastically worsening the risk of catastrophic inland flooding from <a href="https://twitter.com/NWSHouston/status/901443073493929987">relentless rains</a>.</p>
<p>As of Saturday morning, <a href="https://twitter.com/NWSShreveport/status/901471785459343365">nearly 15 inches</a> had already been recorded as <a href="https://twitter.com/EdValleeWx/status/901452553476550657">bands of heavy thunderstorms</a> streamed onshore from the <a href="https://twitter.com/SteveWAFB/status/901469541569626112">warm Gulf of Mexico</a>, with at least five more days of <a href="https://twitter.com/mattlanza/status/901447175955263489">heavy rain</a> on the way.</p>
