Your mistake was in asserting a generality when we are discussing a particular. Isidore is and it is late sept. Sept is I believe the peak of the huricane season. We get more hits in July/August cause little gulf storms form then, no big deal. But Sept is (generally speaking) when the Big Atlantic storms roll in. And the Atlantic huricanes are monsters compared to the little gulf huricanes. Fortunately most drift west into Mexico, but not all, sometimes they curve north and there is hell to pay.

Hurricanes can be early in the season, too. Agnes, the one that laid waste around here in '72, occurred in June. Peak didn't mean much to her, either :)
