Hurricane Prep and Storm-Season Motorcycle Storage in Mississippi

Of the 20 hurricanes NOAA records in Mississippi since 1851, 20 arrived in months our season rule marks as riding at Jackson (Feb, Mar, Apr, May, Jun, Jul, Aug, Sep, Oct, Nov and Dec). At Gulfport the count is 20 in months riding. 2 have come since 2000 and 8 were Category 3 or stronger.

In NOAA's record, Mississippi impacts fall most often in September (10), August (6) and October (3). A motorcycle at Jackson 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.

Move it at once. 10 Mississippi listings list enclosed space; book one before June. All of the 20 Mississippi hurricanes on record came in months a motorcycle at Jackson is riding by our rule, so expect to move it from use, not from storage. Gulfport averages 7.2 inches in July, so check the site drains.

For covered spaces, Gulfport (3) and Jackson (2) lead. Statewide, 10 list open lots, 10 covered parking and 10 enclosed space, so a motorcycle owner can usually choose between shelter levels in the same city.
