COAST
The pacific Coast is the region that experiences most hurricanes.
No. Hurricanes cannot occur in the middle of a continent. A hurricane can only form over warm ocean water and will rapidly lose strength if it hits a major landmass.
Hurricanes in Texas typically occur along the Gulf Coast, with areas such as Corpus Christi, Houston, and Galveston being most susceptible. The warm waters of the Gulf of Mexico provide the fuel for hurricanes to develop and strengthen before making landfall.
Tornadoes can happen anywhere in the U.S. but are most common on the Great Plains, In fact the region is sometimes called Tornado Alley. Hurricanes hit the U.S. most often along the Gulf coast and the southern Atlantic Coast, with Florida being a common place of impact. Occasionally they will strike the northern Atlantic coast.

Hurricanes occur most often in states along the Gulf Coast and Atlantic Coast of the United States, including Florida, Texas, Louisiana, North Carolina, and South Carolina. These states are more vulnerable due to their location in the path of hurricanes originating in the Atlantic Ocean.
