Hurricane Irma Could Be Headed Toward Texas Gulf Coast

Say it isn't so!!!!! Hurricane Irma, a category 3 hurricane, heading westward from the Atlantic into the Gulf of Mexico, could be headed right into the Texas Gulf Coast. #PrayForTexas

The National Hurricane Center reminds us that, at this point, it is too early to really tell just how Irma will affect the states along the Gulf Coast. We can only hope that THIS Hurricane Irma ends up like the hurricane formerly know as Irma.

The last major storm named Irma appeared in the Atlantic on Oct. 2, 1978 and never made it to the U.S. coast.

Tropical Storm Irma came within 500 miles of the Azores before petering out on Oct. 5, according to the National Weather Service. - NBC News
