Houston has had 3 x 500 year storms in 3 years. Missouri had 2 record breaking 500 year floods in 18 months. Dating back to the 1800, the highest crest in 2015 was surpassed the 1915 mark by an astounding 5 feet. That record was beaten again in 2017.
Due in part to climate change you say. And absolutely nothing to do with a high pressure area that prevents a low pressure system from moving further inland. So now high pressure areas are forming because of humans burning fossil fuels and causing global warming.
