Does Texas get severe thunderstorms?

Yes, cold fronts can bring violent thunderstorms because they create a boundary between warm, moist air and cooler, drier air. The lifting of warm air by the advancing cold front can lead to the rapid development of severe thunderstorms with strong winds, hail, and even tornadoes.
What natural disasters cause tornadoes?
Tornadoes are a product of severe thunderstorms and are fairly common in the outer rain bands of hurricanes.
