Hurricane Prep and Storm-Season Motorcycle Storage in Texas

Of the 67 hurricanes NOAA records in Texas since 1851, 67 arrived in months our season rule marks as riding at Houston (every month). At Dallas-Fort Worth the count is 67 in months riding. 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 motorcycle at Houston 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.
