The Gulf Coast states, which include Texas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, and Florida, are most likely to experience thunderstorms, hurricanes, and tornadoes due to their proximity to the Gulf of Mexico and Atlantic Ocean. This region is also known as Hurricane Alley because it is where the majority of Atlantic hurricanes form and make landfall in the United States. The Great Plains states also experience tornadoes, but the Gulf Coast states have a higher frequency of all three severe weather events.
