Texas Hurricane
Texas, the second-largest state in the United States, is no stranger to hurricanes. Situated along the Gulf of Mexico, Texas is vulnerable to the devastating effects of these powerful storms. The state has experienced some of the most destructive hurricanes in history, such as Hurricane Harvey in 2017, which caused widespread flooding and destruction in the Houston area, and Hurricane Ike in 2008, which resulted in significant damage along the Texas coast. With its long coastline and numerous coastal cities and towns, Texas is at high risk for hurricanes, making it essential for residents and authorities to be prepared and vigilant during hurricane season.

The state has implemented various measures to mitigate the impact of hurricanes, including evacuation plans, flood control systems, and building codes to withstand high winds.
