Yikes! I edited the poll to include Tropical Storms as well. Those that would like to change their vote, feel free to do so…

If we go by history, statistically speaking from 1870 to 2010, I think Texas will receives its first hurricane between late July. Interestingly, June has 6 hurricane landfalls, while July has 5 hurricane landfalls. No major hurricane ever made landfall in June, while one made landfall in July.
Do I think a hurricane can make landfall this year. It is certainly possible. A tropical storm on average makes landfall almost every 2 years, while hurricane is about every 4 years on average, and major hurricane is every 11 years on average.
