Nowhere is safe from disasters. They can strike any place and at any time. That includes the great state of Texas. Our history is not just that of growth, peace, and prosperity. We've endured our share of tragedies. Awful catastrophic events. The loss of lives has been great. The cost of damages...unimaginable.

As bad as these events were, Texas is one state that can ban together. I've seen it time and time again. Communities come together in the midst of tragedies and make some pretty unbelievable things happen. We bounce back as a state. As a people.

As we remember those lives lost, we also remember the hard work that it took to move on from these brutal occurrences. Only In Your State has ranked the top 10 most horrific. Keep scrolling and discover these disasters.

I can tell you with 100% complete certainty that floods are no joke. A profound memory of my childhood involved being trapped in a vehicle during a flood up in the Texas Panhandle.

It can be scary. You never know just when disasters will strike. Just ask those who have endured them. It's best to be prepared and ready. In the event of an emergency, having the information and resources could mean the difference between life and death.
