People have a powerful bias towards recent history. Perhaps 1938 was a 100 year storm, and perhaps this was another. But nobody lives to be 300 years old to where a 100 year storm isn't ZOMG WORST STORM EVAR!!!1!one!

It is pretty much an established fact that climate change affects the environment, and that part of the change is caused by humans. Considering the increasing rate at which the environment is degrading, it is not completely unreasonable to think that climate would be affected.
