Of the 67 hurricanes NOAA records in Texas since 1851, 67 arrived in months our season rule marks as on the water at Houston (Apr, May, Jun, Jul, Aug, Sep and Oct). At Dallas-Fort Worth the count is 67 in months on 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 personal watercraft at Houston is on the water in all three by our season rule, and on the water in 5 of the 6 season months overall, so settle storage before June 1.
114 of 198 live Texas listings list enclosed indoor space; 44 list covered and 114 outdoor spaces. By city: Meadowlakes (34; 0 enclosed), Austin (24; 15 enclosed), Houston (22; 15 enclosed) and Dallas (16; 8 enclosed). The most enclosed listings are in Austin (15) and Houston (15). None lists climate-controlled units. Listings span 48 cities. Prefer a wind-rated building outside the flood zone.
Move it at once. 114 Texas listings list enclosed space; book one before June. All of the 67 Texas hurricanes on record came in months a personal watercraft at Houston is on 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 48 Texas cities. The largest groups are Meadowlakes (34 listed), Austin (24 listed), Houston (22 listed), Dallas (16 listed) and El Paso (13 listed). For covered spaces, San Antonio (6) and Canyon Lake (4) lead. Statewide, 114 list open lots, 44 covered parking and 114 enclosed space, so a personal watercraft owner can usually choose between shelter levels in the same city.
