Murchison hurricane guide¶
Murchison is an inland community in Henderson County, far from the coast, so storm risk comes from heavy rain, flash flooding, and wind from the remains of a storm from the Gulf of Mexico. The city's website publishes no hurricane or flood page. See the Henderson County page for emergency management, alerts, and shelter guidance.
