Traditionally, it's been over after October for all intents and purposes. While it doesn't officially end until 30 Nov, it's not common to get November hurricanes, much less mid month ones (projected).

Oops.

i actually thought the season officially ended at the end of October.

The gulf is warmer than it has ever been measured, and that trend is only going to continue barring a truly historic change in global behavior. Buckle up buckaroos

I’m not sure we’re ready to switch to hurricanes with Thanksgiving dinner instead of bourbon/etc.

As far as Texas is concerned, for the month of October, here are the hurricane that have hit Texas since 1867:

 

  • 1867: A Category 2 hurricane, also known as the "Galveston" hurricane, made landfall near Brownsville. The hurricane caused flooding in Galveston and flattened Bagdad and Clarksville. 
  • 1886: An unnamed Category 3 hurricane made landfall near the Texas/Louisiana state line. 
  • 1912: An unnamed Category 2 hurricane made landfall near Padre Island. 
  • 1949: An unnamed Category 2 hurricane made landfall near Freeport. 
  • 1989: Hurricane Jerry, a Category 1 hurricane, made landfall on Galveston Island.

October 3, 1949 – The 1949 Texas hurricane makes landfall near Freeport with winds of 135 miles per hour (217 km/h) after crossing into the Gulf of Mexico from the East Pacific.[10] In advance of the storm 50,000 people sought shelter.[58] Rainfall peaks in Goodrich at 14.5 inches (370 mm).[59] The hurricane causes severe crop losses in the region.[60] Power outages also take place across the region, with the entire city of Freeport losing power.[60] The storm kills two people and causes $6.7 million in damages, most of which are attributed to crop losses.[55]

well that's different

I will keep y’all apprised of the weather conditions down here as we head to Roatan in three days.

We are like a hurricane Hunter plane, except we’re going into the storm very slowly - at sea level - and everyone on the plane is extremely fat* and drunk. 
 

* my menu tonight advised there was a five dollar up-charge for your third entrée.

Hope you dodge the three cruise ships with 13,000 passengers combined. Honduras is so hard up for money that they are going to kill that beautiful island with thousands of drunk American tourists. Hit the east end to get away from all of that but watch for the roaming bandits with shotguns.

Just throw a beer at it and it'll run away and hide.

I was living in St Thomas when Hurricane Rafael last materialized in 2012 and it was supposed to head straight over Yacht Haven Grande so we rounded up a bunch of people and rum and had a massive party at Fat Turtle (RIP).  Anyways we kept waiting and partying only to find out it turned pretty significantly and went over to the BVI instead.

Gulf Coast

Feds close Sargent Beach until further notice due to erosion after Beryl

Fishing, boating destination shut down by Army Corps of Engineers

By Chris Gray,Gulf Coast ReporterNov 7, 2024

The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers has closed Sargent Beach, a federally owned area of Matagorda County, citing "safety concerns stemming from significant erosion and compromised infrastructure caused by recent storms."

According to a Corps news release picked up by the Matagorda County Office of Emergency Management and Bay City Sentinel, the land includes the West Mooring Dock Park, Sargent public boat ramp, and the access road alternately called County Road 238 or West Revetment Road. Located 30 miles from Bay City, the beach is a popular fishing and boating spot, favored by many as an alternative to the busier Matagorda Beach.

“Our shared responsibility to protect life and safety while ensuring the Gulf Intracoastal Waterway (GIWW) is protected are part of our core missions,” said Neil Murphy, public affairs chief for the Corps' Galveston District. “The decision to halt beach access ensures that we are doing our part to keep the community free from harm while we work to address options to improve it and make it safe for public use.”

Sargent Island, near Matagorda Bay, was "unrecognizable" after Hurricane Beryl, U of H geology professor Shubab Khan said.

Officials said the area, which received more than 22 inches of rain during Tropical Storm Imelda in 2019, will be closed indefinitely; a gate with signage indicating this will be erected. The public is prohibited from entering the closed section of the beach, and the boat ramp is inaccessible to vehicle and vessel traffic.

Last month, University of Houston geology professor Shubab Khan released the results of a study that measured erosion along the Texas coast before and after Hurricane Beryl. Using drones equipped with infrared lasers known as lidar, researchers surveyed a half-dozen locations, including Galveston, Surfside, and North Padre Island, in May and again in July.

They found that Sargent—which took a near direct hit from the category one hurricane—had perhaps suffered the most extensive damage. Kahn said the storm had rendered the beach "unrecognizable."
