The '''Gulf Coast''' is that part of the coastline of the [[United States of America]] that faces the [[Gulf of Mexico]]. It is prone to extreme weather events, the most notable of which in recent years was [[Hurricane Katrina]]. The main Gulf Coast city is [[New Orleans]]; other major coastal centres include [[Corpus Christi]], [[Galveston]], [[Pensacola]] and [[St Petersburg]]. Many coastal cities, notably Galveston, service the offshore oil platforms of the Gulf.
