There is one state in the U.S. that could be affected by an Atlantic hurricane in the east from the Gulf of Mexico and a Pacific hurricane in the west from the Gulf of California in one day. It can't be Florida, since it's too far east to be affected by anything in the Pacific, and it can't be Hawaii, since it's too far west for anything in the Atlantic to reach it. So the state would have to be HUGE, but Alaska is too cold for tropical development. The only thing I can tell you to clue you in is that the Pacific one could be no stronger than maybe Cat. 1 while the Atlantic one could be as strong as a Cat. 5 and both could affect the state's capital -- especially if they merged! So what is the short, simple name of this large, proud state, with a patriotic-looking state flag, that requires its students to study both the Atlantic and Pacific hurricane tracking charts in Social Studies class? (Hint: It's hard to believe since people see blue skies and rolling hills when it's said!)

I don't think it's Texas because we don't have to study the Pacific ocean hurricane thing. And I've never been in a hurricane my entire life, and yet, I live in Austin(Central Texas, smack dabe in the middle)

After reading the answers, it has to be a dumb state and the dumbest on that qualifies is Texas.

Sounds like a really dumb state to live in then.
Best avoid.
