The '''Gulf Coast''' is that part of the coastline of the [[United States of America]] that faces the [[Gulf of Mexico]], extending from the mouth of the [[Rio Grande]] in the west to [[Key West]] in the east. It includes the coastlines of [[Texas]], [[Louisiana]], [[Mississippi], [[Alabama]] and the west coast of [[Florida]]. It is prone to extreme weather events, the most notable of which in recent years was [[Hurricane Katrina]]; more damaging still, however, was the 1900 hurricane and storm surge that destryed much of [[Galveston]] and killed 8,000 people. 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.
