Of the 67 hurricanes NOAA records in Texas since 1851, 67 arrived in months our season rule marks as in the water at Houston (Feb, Mar, Apr, May, Jun, Jul, Aug, Sep, Oct, Nov and Dec). At Dallas-Fort Worth the count is 67 in months in the water. 10 have come since 2000 and 19 were Category 3 or stronger.
In NOAA's record, Texas impacts fall most often in August (22), September (18) and June (11). A boat at Houston is in the water in all three by our season rule, and in the water in 6 of the 6 season months overall, so settle storage before June 1.
268 of 462 live Texas listings list enclosed indoor space; 42 list covered and 339 outdoor spaces. By city: San Antonio (74; 14 enclosed), Houston (56; 33 enclosed), Austin (41; 35 enclosed) and Dallas (41; 22 enclosed). The most enclosed listings are in Austin (35) and Houston (33). None lists climate-controlled units. Listings span 69 cities. Prefer a wind-rated building outside the flood zone.
Move it at once. 268 Texas listings list enclosed space; book one before June. All of the 67 Texas hurricanes on record came in months a boat at Houston is in the water by our rule, so expect to move it from use, not from storage. Houston averages 6.0 inches in June, so check the site drains.
Listings span 69 Texas cities. The largest groups are San Antonio (74 listed), Houston (56 listed), Austin (41 listed), Dallas (41 listed) and Corpus Christi (32 listed). For covered spaces, San Antonio (5) and Canyon Lake (4) lead. Statewide, 339 list open lots, 42 covered parking and 268 enclosed space, so a boat owner can usually choose between shelter levels in the same city.
