The Gulf Coast is most susceptible to tropical storms due to its location in the path of hurricanes and tropical cyclones.

The Gulf Coast is particularly vulnerable to tropical storms and hurricanes because it lies along the Gulf of Mexico, where these storms often form and intensify. The warm waters of the Gulf provide the energy needed for the development of hurricanes and tropical storms, making this region highly susceptible to such events. The Atlantic Coast also faces tropical storms, but the Gulf Coast experiences more frequent and intense storms. The Pacific Coast is less affected by tropical storms, and the Great Lakes are not prone to such events due to their inland location.
