Thanks Ed..that is pretty much what I thought. 1921 is a long time ago.. wondered if that was correct. Seems geography has some play in the climo of how rarely they get hit by bigger storms..

Up in the big bend area and the panhandle history has unleashed many large hurricanes .. much stronger than Cat 2 that you are referring to... should look back over a few old books and see if I can find more.

Suppose at that point they are hit by weaker late season storms catching cold fronts across the state.

long time ago Ed, a really long time ago
