It's hurricane season so it tends to be a lot quieter. And cheaper!Crowded beaches, eh Roy?

We usually experience a couple of blustery days and the odd cloudburst but generally balmy days.

I reckon the weather's better in hurricane season as long as a hurricane doesn't come along. When I went out of season the beach had red flags up for 3 of the seven days.

That's impressive.
Had one tropical downpour when I was there last, went on for a couple of hours. Discovered why they have those ditches at the sides of most of the roads.

Closest I've been to a hurricane was in Atlantic City although it had been downgraded from a hurricane by the time it got to us there. Still some impressively bad weather. I was playing cards in the Trump Taj and the waves were breaking right over the boardwalk, you wouldn't want to have been out there.
The roof started leaking after a bit as well, of course it didn't stop play.
