     "On top of that, scientists say climate change is causing 
torrential rainfall to happen more often, meaning storms that used to 
be considered “once-in-a-lifetime” events are happening with greater 
frequency. Rare storms that have only a miniscule chance of occurring 
in any given year have repeatedly battered the city in the past 15 years."
