As Alberto looms in the Gulf of Mexico, local storm chaser Jeff Gammons reflected on the devastating Hurricane Harvey.
"Everything that is most dangerous in a hurricane," said Gammons.
It was a storm that brought a record 60 inches of rain.
"2017 was definitely storms that brought a lot of rain between Irma in Florida and Harvey in Texas," said Gammons.
This new researchsuggests Harvey could be a good example of what's to come.
The National Center for Atmospheric Research says rising temperatures linked to climate change may create storms that are slower with torrential downpours.
