It's somewhat remarkable to me that nothing sort of a complete decimation of Houston would get people to recognize what a serious business it was. What's more, it impacted a lot of neighborhoods that were populated by people without a lot of monetary resources, so these personal impact numbers are quite misleading.

Who even raised this point for rebuttal? This is like walking into a coffee shop and the barista suddenly shouting, "NO THERE CERTAINLY ISN'T A DEAD BODY BEHIND THIS COUNTER!" Why is this political/economic spin job on hacker news?
