Gulf Coast states, including Texas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, and Florida, are located in an area known as the "hurricane alley." They experience a high frequency of thunderstorms, hurricanes, and tornadoes due to their proximity to warm Gulf of Mexico waters, which provide the energy needed for these weather events to form and strengthen. The Pacific Coast states and New England states have generally milder weather patterns with less frequent thunderstorms, hurricanes, and tornadoes. The Great Plains states are known for tornadoes, but they do not typically experience a high frequency of hurricanes or thunderstorms.
