I have done a fair bit of traveling. In Houston, I ate lunch, walked out of the restaurant and into the polluted air and basically promptly threw up in reaction to it. I decided I was done and leaving. It may not be worse in your eyes, but it is the worst air quality I have personally experienced.
I said nothing about weather, just humidity. Houston is closer to the coast than Dallas.
I grew up in Georgia and I have lived in Texas. I have some familiarity with the weather of the Southeastern US.

Strange, I've never seen or heard of anyone losing their cookies over Houston pollution before. I lived there for 11 years, was an endurance athlete there, and have lived in Austin for 22. I wonder what the circumstances were. > It may not be worse in your eyes, but it is the worst air quality I have personally experienced. I think you haven't seen real air pollution then. I've choked in Los Angeles in the '70s, had to take a bath after being outside in Pittsburg in the 60's, and seen the choking effluent that cities like Gary, IN and Erie, PA had before the EPA got geared up. That's not to mention places that I haven't been, like Beijing, or Shanghai, or Sao Paolo, or even Tokyo at times. I think it is an exaggeration to claim Houston is any more polluted than most major cities.
- Mz 9y agoI wasn't claiming it was more polluted than most major cities. I only suggested it was probably more polluted (and humid) than Dallas. So, you are reading in things I did not say.
