We had mostly 50s for lows in Travis County outside the central urban core of Austin. Wonderful!

Sure did! The only thing that would feel better is rain

Beautiful weather stretch for most of us (in the sense temps are comfortable-warm) with generally low dewpoints. There are at least subtle signs from ensembles in the very long range of heights rising over the Pacific Northwest and Canada that may allow us to cool off.

I’ve never really experienced hurricane conditions and I only live one hour from the Gulf. Hurricane Claudette in 2003 was the closest call I’ve ever had and that wasn’t too bad here. Harvey was just all rain here with not much wind (maybe 40-50mph tops). I know eventually my luck is bound to run out though.

You're right the Middle to Upper TX coast is woefully unprepared for a storm like Ian, Ida, or Laura. Harvey was pretty bad for Rockport but it's windfield was quite small and it was an area with relatively low population. We haven't had a true wind storm since Carla imo. Ike was a glancing blow that would have been a lot worse if it made landfall between Freeport and the west end of Galveston like it was supposed to.

Yep, I agree. It’s just hard for a storm to get this far west without some trough picking it up.

But yes, at least I am enjoying the temperatures, finally.

It is worse than summer in certain ways because we are in climo wet months. You kind of expect it in summer if it happens. But really it is never good any month. Wet seasons is when lakes and rivers replenish.
