I hate to be the Debbie Downer, but for me, this is the boy who cried wolf scenario. I'll believe it when the first real rain and cool front hit us here in NW Houston. I've seen the hints of a pattern change too many times in the last several weeks to believe it now with the models.

I am sorry.
My homeowner's insurance went from $600 in 2015 to $2300, with most of that increase this year. It's insane, but worse if you can't even get it...
And I have no claims for hail, but Texas overall is getting slammed with insurance rates.
Some insurance companies are also limiting coverage for roofs so do check policy. A part of it is inflation (cost to repair goes up) and not just disasters but all of it comes together to hit the pockets.
Hail does nothing for me. Being under one is not the same as watching it hit somewhere else on radar.

Tornadoes get all the press. However, I've only seen one tornado in my lifetime. I don't know anyone who has received damage from a tornado, and I've never had anything damaged by a tornado. I've had cars destroyed by hail. A roof destroyed by hail. Know tons of people who have received damage via hail. Hail is an underreported menace.

We need help! Something has to make this El Nino take over. There does to be some Atlantic cooling, but not much.

It missed the rain cave just to the east but was close enough to being powerful winds that knocked a tree down on my house. Gonna be a lot of work to clear it out, not to mention any potential damage to the roof.
