Do tornadoes and hurricanes form over gulf coast waters?
Generally not. Hurricanes usually form far out at sea, and usually don't form in coastal waters as it can limit the supply of moisture that they need. Although hurricanes can form in the Gulf of Mexico it is more common for them to form elsewhere in the Atlantic and then move into the Gulf. Tornadoes don't need to form in coastal areas. In fact they can form almost anywhere. In the United States storm systems pull warm, moist air from the Gulf of Mexico. This air fuels the storms that spawn tornadoes, but this air can be transported hundreds of miles away from the Gulf before it these thunderstorms develop.
