Gun Barrel City hurricane guide

Gun Barrel City lies on the eastern shore of Cedar Creek Reservoir, about 55 miles southeast of Dallas. It is inland, so the risk from a tropical storm is heavy rain, flash flooding, and wind from its remains. The city publishes no hurricane or flood page. It sends emergency alerts through its CivicReady system. The Henderson County page lists county emergency management and sheriff contacts.
