Why Tropical Storm Harvey is already being compared to Allison
The misnomer is persistent because of both the damage and death caused by the tropical storm. In Harris County alone, Allison caused 22 fatalities, left 30,000 residents homeless and caused more than $5 billion in property damages.
A resilient Allison and its slow movement essentially caused the tropical storm to hover over Houston for several days while dumping incredible amounts of rain. Between June 5-9, areas of Houston experienced around 10 to 30 inches of rainfall. 
Due to the suffering caused by Allison, it was the first tropical storm to have its name retired without being categorized as a hurricane.
Now, as Harvey approaches, it appears to have the same worrying combination of flood-inducing factors, at least for now.
