What destructive weather results from Texas's location on the Gulf of Mexico?
Texas has two main destructive weathers: tornadoes and hurricanes. Hurricanes evolve from the Gulf of Mexico, so this is your answer. Tornadoes occur more in Northern Texas, away from the Gulf, as this is part of Tornado Alley (an area of high tornado activity).
Why does the gulf of Mexico help to aid in so many tornadoes over tornado alley?
The Gulf of Mexico provides warm, moist air that can fuel thunderstorms when it meets with cool, dry air from the north. This clash of air masses creates the ideal conditions for severe weather, including tornadoes, to develop in Tornado Alley. The warm, humid air from the Gulf acts as a source of energy for these storms to intensify and form tornadoes.

Where Do tornadoes happen Texas?
