Some people would tell you that the earth goes through Cycles and that this is normal.

The events would happen without human emissions. Climate science shows us we amplify these natural events with our emissions/warming.
is the severity of these weather events lately related to global warming. if so, it seems to me that the news outlets are not as forthright with speaking of the impact.
