What, no sarcasm tag? Hurricane season peaks late August through late September. We are still in nearly the worst part of Hurrican season. Hurricanes that hit the US mainland according to month (1900 -2000):

42 in August
65 in September
25 in October

August 1983 we evacuated Lake Jackson Texas and went to San Antonio with two year old son, two month old daughter, and one cat. Had a great visit there, but a huge mess to clean up when we got home. I think that one was Hurricane Allison. Hard to keep track, have lived through so many in Texas Gulf area since 1973. Out here in LA we have Santa Anna winds that are like hot dry hurricanes, they break out windows and knock over trees. Last time we had a huge mess like that was in late 1980s in San Marino Calif.
