CHAPTER 10: The Southern Coastlands
Southlake shares a lot with the Southern Coastlands, as part of Texas is included within it. Although Southlake is too far inland to experience hurricanes like the Texas cities of Brownsville and McAllen,but the threat of tornadoes is very prevalent.
Texas lies on the southern end of Tornado Alley. Texas' location between the Gulf of Mexico on the southeast and the Rocky Mountains on its western periphery make it a prime area for the formation of tornadoes. An average of 153 tornadoes touch down in Texas each year. Tornadoes may occur in any month, but occur most often during April, May and June between the hours of 4:00 p.m. and 8:00 p.m.
