It's hot in TX, and very rainy where I live. What do you think August/September

[babylonsister]

might bring? I'm hoping to go on vacation at the end of August-am I nuts?

Edit to add: are you a weatherman? :rofl:

OK, so give it your best shot! :evilgrin:

1. Seriously?

Hurricanes.

I'm dreading August and September for that reason.

Where are you planning to go? Maybe hold off until fall? Or do you have kids?

[babylonsister]

3. Dammit, that's what I'm thinking, too.

September 'used' to be fall where I come from (NY). We are planning on going to Phuket, but I do wonder about leaving.
But we cannot live in fear!

4. I forgot how far inland you are.

Aren't you in the Houston area?

If you're not planning on being gone long--no more than a couple of weeks--I'd go ahead and go in early August.

Late August and September will probably be most active.

6. We're leaving the end of August. Trip of the year.

We're gone, but I will worry. We do have a friend to keep tabs on the house. Here we go again, I'm thinking. x(

7. It'll probably be ok.

Once you get on the airplane, forget about home. That's what I have to force myself to do when we go on vacation.

And if you've got a friend to take care of the place, you'll be ok.

Have fun! I'm jealous. :P

11. My friend's daughter was in Phuket during the tsunami

:scared:

[babylonsister]

12. That's crossed my mind, but what are the odds?

And who the hell knows? It could happen in a lot of places.

2. Hopefully not another hurricane.

:(

5. It's the same in Austin...n/t

8. For the first time in years, it's been super foggy out here on the beach.

We get a really sunny day, then days of curling thick fog. The sun is up there, somewhere.

And, I'm not a weatherman but my cousin does local traffic. :rofl:

9. Come up here, Sister

Houston's brutal in the summer.

ed. Sorry, I think I misread your post. YOu're worried about leaving your house during hurricane season? I think you should go ahead and go. You can't live in fear.

14. Get a Farmer's Almanac

A real one. The farmers where I come from say it's still the best weather-predictor evar. It will give you a decent idea of what to expect for August. As for Houston a hurricanes, I have no idea. I know I'm damned glad I live in West Texas when summer comes around. Houston is like a damned steam cooker in summer.
