Hurricane Prep and Storm-Season Motorcycle Storage in Alabama

Of the 29 hurricanes NOAA records in Alabama since 1851, 29 arrived in months our season rule marks as riding at Birmingham (Feb, Mar, Apr, May, Jun, Jul, Aug, Sep, Oct and Nov). At Mobile the count is 29 in months riding. 4 have come since 2000 and 5 were Category 3 or stronger.

In NOAA's record, Alabama impacts fall most often in September (13), August (8) and July (5). A motorcycle at Birmingham is riding in all three by our season rule, and riding in 6 of the 6 season months overall, so settle storage before June 1.
