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.

Quote

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]

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.

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.
