I'm a good piece inland but the rains cause flooding here. We usually get tornadoes when there's a hurricane near Texas/LA from the Gulf. Even if not a tornado, we still get damaging high winds. Gotta be prepared. I also like to keep added stuff in case we need to take in someone fleeing a hurricane.
