You gotta be kidding me... I remember Isabel. I specifically remember one of my relatives who works down the casinos going in to work the morning after. I don't remember huge sections of the boardwalk being ripped up and deposited in people's living rooms. I don't remember the pier amusement parks being washed into the ocean and entire shore towns being destroyed and an entire New York City borough being devastated and etc. etc. Isabel was a fucking sunshower compared to this.
This was the worst storm to hit New York and New Jersey in at least the last hundred years. This is not my opinion; this is a fact.
All of that is beside the point anyway. Was this storm a direct effect of climate change? I don't know, I'm not a fucking climatologist. But to me it seems like the weather patterns have been getting increasingly more erratic and extreme.
