Per Tunnel, "Storms can push jellyfish and it's possible <a href="https://www.chron.com/gulf-coast/article/hurricane-francine-oil-gas-gulf-19766864.php">Hurricane Francine</a> did so."

One should not attempt to touch a Moon Jelly as they do sting. Thankfully though, Tunnel revealed the sting isn't all that bad:</p><p>"But they would be a 1 out of 10 on a scale of pain which is not that bad... Most people would probably never feel the sting unless it was on a sensitive part of their body."</p><figure><img src="https://img.particlenews.com/image.php?type=thumbnail_580x000&amp;url=084ceE_0vkOT3rt00" alt="https://img.particlenews.com/image.php?url=084ceE_0vkOT3rt00" width="960" height="640" ></figure><p>So it looks like Moon Jellies are visiting Texas beaches for a little bit, but it'd be best to not touch them!</p><h2>Sharks Getting Too Close</h2><h2>STOP!
