If you live any where near the gulf of mexico or atlantic ocean its a possiability you cant tell where or when they will hit so that's kind of a dumb question sorry that being said if they are near each other in track they may follow the same basic track as the one before it especally if the first storm was very recent look at the Katrina and Rita tracks they didn't hit the same place but followed the same general path you may remember the storms were 2 weeks apart and hit the pearl river area and the lake charles areas All any one can do is to be prepared have at least a weeks worth of water on hand 1 gal per aperson per a day non perishable food that doesn't have to be cooked especally if you have an eletric stove and no camp stove which is a good idea to have and if your area is likely to be evacuated your important papers and a week or two worth of clothes flashlights candles a battiery operated radio and any thing you need for a baby or medications don't wait til the last miniute to get out and if they ask you to leave then leave take new orleans as an example how many people there were killed b/c they wouldn't or couldn't get out have a place to go a relitives is best bc hotel rooms are gone fast and terriably expensive also stick to the evacuation routes b/c your less likely to get price gouged on gas if your on the main routes and be prepared to spend six or more hours on the road less than 50 miles from your home it took us three hours to get 5 miles from our home in La to get away from katrina

In the long term, yes. Without a doubt. The Houston-Katy area is a in a prime location for hurricane strikes.
In the short term, it is impossible to predict more than a few days at most in advance.
It is for this reason that if you live around Houston, or any other low-lying coastal area, you should always have plans in place in the event of a hurricane heading towards your area. Moreover, you should have several plans, based on the severity of a potential hurricane, and what effects it would have on you, your family, and your home.
You should have plans in place for an evacuation route, if necessary. If you live in an area that is vulnerable to storm surge, you should have plans that will allow you to evacuate in less than 24 hours notice. If you live further inland, well above sea level or flooding hazards, you may want to consider sheltering in place, particularly if the storm is a minimal one.
You should have plans in place to make sure elderly family members, or those needing special care, pets, and other special circumstances are taken care of.
Most importantly, if officials in your area tell you to evacuate, do so. It may save your life.

All you have to do is to go to the internet and look up the weather history for the gulf coast. Face facts, it is hurricane country. It is a part of living there. Will they all be horrible? No, of course not. Will it happen again in a horrible way? Without a doubt. When will it happen badly? Who knows? You have to decide for yourself if the benefit is worth the risk.

Yes, because those towns are located in an area prone to hurricanes.
Like Okc is prone to tornadoes, or 'Cisco is prone to earthquakes.
You live with it or you move. ...But if you do move, please don't go build a wooden house in an area prone to fires. There are more than enough idiots out here already.
