Why is everyone comparing a hurricane in Houston (causes lots of damage) to snowstorms in denver (no damage, just delayed/cancelled flights)? It makes no sense. If anything, snow in Denver is more comparable to the thunderstorms in Houston that cancel flights. Wildfires in denver, which don't happen, would be more comparable to hurricanes in IAH. They may happen in the springs and the foothills but they don't happen in denver. Maybe tornadoes, but I can't even think of the last time a tornado caused damage at the denver airport. Houston has flooded every year for the past three years!
