Hurricane Laura: August 26, 2020 – the western extent impacts Southeast Texas, bringing 60–110 mph (97–177 km/h) wind gusts. More than 160,000 energy customers lose power, including about 90 percent of Orange County. Six people die of carbon monoxide poisoning in Laura's aftermath and an additional 18 people are treated for carbon monoxide injuries.

​

Hurricane Hanna: July 25, 2020 - makes landfall roughly 12 mi  north-northwest of Port Mansifeld with maximum sustained winds of 80 mph. Texas incurs over $1.1 billion in damage, sustaining heavy losses to crops in the Rio Grande Valley and widespread power outages affecting some 200,000 people. Five indirect deaths are attributed to the storm, including four from carbon monoxide poisoning in Edinburg. Rainfall totals of 6–12 inches occur across the Rio Grande Valley, punctuated by a peak total of 15.49 inches near Santa Rosa. The heavy rains trigger flash floods and prompt water rescues in Hidalgo and Cameron counties.

​

Tropical Storm Imelda: September 17-19, 2019 makes landfall near Freeport, Texas with winds of 40 mph. The slow and erratic movement of the tropical cyclone produces widespread and catastrophic flooding across much of southeastern Texas. A peak rainfall total of 43.39 in is recorded at North Fork Taylor's Bayou in Jefferson County. Imelda's effects kill five people.

​

Hurricane Harvey: August 25-28, 2017 - makes landfall near the coast of Rockport as a Category 4 hurricane and later stalls just inland, producing extreme and unprecedented amounts of rainfall in the vast majority of southern Texas. The highest storm total rainfall that can be confirmed is 60.58″, which occurred near Nederland, TX in the Beaumont-Port Arthur area. A 60.54″ report was confirmed in Groves, TX near Port Arthur as well. Both of these totals, along with five others (most in the Friendswood area), establish a new United States record for rainfall associated with a tropical cyclone, breaking the 1950 total of 52″ in Hawaii from Hurricane Hiki. The previous Lower 48 record was 48″ from Tropical Storm Amelia in Medina, TX back in 1978. Harvey broke that record in at least 18 locations. Radar estimates of 65-70″ were noted, but cannot be confirmed. Over 300,000 structures were flooded, along with over 500,000 vehicles. 30,000 water rescues were conducted and 40,000 people evacuated from flooding. The resulting catastrophic flooding in most of Houston and Harris County as well as in dozens of other surrounding counties causes an estimated $125 billion in damage, making Harvey the costliest tropical cyclone worldwide, as well as the costliest tropical cyclone in Texas history

 

Hurricane Dolly: July 23, 2008 makes landfall at South Padre Island with winds near 100 mph. A storm surge of 4 ft is observed across much of the coast of southern Texas. Dolly's remnants cause coastal and inland flooding and over 12 inches of rain in some locations, peaking at 15 inches in Harlingen. On South Padre Island, moderate structural damage, mostly to roofs, is reported. Tree and utility pole damage is widespread across Cameron County. Widespread power outages are reported across southern Texas as a result of Dolly.
