It has not been the Lone Star State’s year weather-wise. Mother Nature seems to have it in for Texas, for some strange reason. There are a lot of great #1 spots to win from Super Bowl champs to employee of the month. Texas won an altogether different #1 this year, though: Texas named the nation’s 2016 most severe weather state. According to Accuweather, Texas “has been suffering from record-setting rains since the beginning of May.” In fact, Texas got roughly six times the average amount of rain in May. Then there are the thunderstorms, hailstorms, tornadoes and floods.
