It just felt so weird that the one place on the planet ideologically disposed to disbelieve in climate change would also be the one unaffected. The planet itself seemed to be conspiring.
Of course it wasn't, and neither is it "karma" to have an oil-wealth state suffering. It would be nice to have it nudge Texas (and its political allies) in the direction of accepting that climate change is not a gigantic hoax on them. Weather continues to not be the same as climate, but if a weather event convinces people to stop making excuses about climate change, then perhaps two bad things can cancel each other out.
