Lumberton Texas sits in Hardin County and experienced catastrophic flooding during Hurricane Harvey in 2017 — one of the most flooded counties in Texas during the event. The community sits in the Big Thicket region and is near the Beaumont-Port Arthur petrochemical corridor. Harvey's flooding breached hazardous material containment at nearby industrial facilities creating contamination concerns. Hardin County's low elevation and position in the coastal plain make it extremely vulnerable to tropical cyclone rainfall flooding.
