These storms would sound a whole lot more local and maybe a bit more fun (or scary).

Here are some hurricanes we might see if Texans were in charge of the names:

1. Hurricane Whataburger
This storm shows up suddenly, causes a lot of chaos, and then leaves everyone standing in line wondering what just happened. You can’t stop talking about it for weeks afterward.

2. Hurricane Bluebonnet
Sounds sweet, right? Don’t be fooled. This storm rolls in during spring, covers everything in flowers... and wind. Lots of wind.

3. Hurricane Yeehaw
You hear this one coming from miles away. It doesn’t sneak up—it stomps in like a rodeo bull. Expect loud winds, wild weather, and plenty of “Hold my sweet tea” moments.

4. Hurricane Brisket
Slow-moving but powerful. This storm hangs around longer than you’d like and leaves behind a smoky mess. The smell? Somehow still kind of nice.

5. Hurricane H-E-Double-LoneStar
Yep, this one brings the heat. Triple-digit temps, dry winds, and a fierce attitude. It’s the storm that thinks it's tougher than all the rest—and it might be right.

6. Hurricane Buc-ee
Massive, fast, and oddly clean. You can’t escape it, and you can’t stop talking about it. Comes with its own snacks and restroom breaks.

Why It’s Fun To Imagine Texas Themed Hurricane Names

We know hurricanes are serious business. They can be dangerous and even deadly. But sometimes, adding a little Texas flavor to the names helps people connect more with what’s happening, and makes them pay attention.

Plus, wouldn’t it be cool to hear a weather alert say, “Y’all, Hurricane Yeehaw is heading straight for Houston”?

Stay safe, Texans, and always be ready, no matter what the storm’s name is.
