The number of storms and hurricanes that form in October is less than half that of September, the peak month of the season. The storms that do develop usually in the Caribbean, either hit Florida or go into the Gulf. But, this year the oceans are very hot, no doubt due to climate change, and that provides fuel for a hurricane (which is basically a heat engine). Long and short, all bets are off until Thanksgiving

Why would anyone have thought it was over?

We still have a month and half of hurricane season
