I did wonder about hurricanes, and that information you presented I haven't heard of on the other channels. Makes me a lot more interested in moving there. Thank you!
Texas does have scorpions but none of them are poisonous (I think Arizona is where the poisonous ones live). I would not say they are common at all. I haven't even seen one in years. However, sometimes in new construction, people will see them but a pest control treatment usually takes care of that.
