Does anybody do Socorro this time of year? I'm on the Rocio first week of November and it's their first trip of the season. Might be tough in the SofC...

Why do you say that? If you are speaking of Socorro, NM, there are no storms approaching it and it's forecast to be 10 to 20 degrees cooler than Austin over the next 10 days. It sounds lovely.

Didn’t know there was a Socorro, NM. I was referring to Socorro, Mexico with Hilary approaching. Big storm!

From the Noaa web site, it looks like Hilary passed either directly over or very close to Socorro. Any reports?
