The storm is headed for the Texas and Louisiana coast, another blow for states in the Gulf that have been hit by five other storms this hurricane season.
It's pretty scary out there these days. There are wildfires in the West and a hurricane causing "catastrophic" flooding in the South. And the destructiveness of those disasters is being aggravated by climate change.
Scientists say that climate change, which has also contributed to the wildfires on the West Coast, helped intensify a storm that is unleashing a deluge in Florida, Alabama and Mississippi.
