In Houston, the opening of the Hurricane Season also means very high
humidity.  If viewed from space, Houston would look almost foggy because of
the thick water vapor in the air.

Comments are welcome.

PS... yeah, I know, I forgot the stars this time...

common misunderstanding.  You can hardly see stars in a photograph of a 
planet, otherwise the planet itself would be way too bright.

(in fact, this is one of the so called "proofs" that the moonlanding was 
a fake: there are no stars visible in the photographs.  However, the 
fact that there are no stars visible, is more like a proof that it's 
either real, or a well thought out fake)

Yeah I knew you wouldn't see any stars in a real situation... but I just
wanted to be artistic.
