Victoria County in the Coastal Bend region was significantly impacted by Hurricane Harvey's rainfall and flooding. The Guadalupe River regularly floods during major rain events, and the county's coastal proximity makes it vulnerable to hurricane-force winds and storm surge from Gulf systems. Industrial infrastructure adds additional risk considerations.
