- Gulfport sits in a high-wind zone requiring roofing materials rated for 140+ mph sustained winds, increasing material and fastening costs over inland counties.
- A waterspout moved onshore near the Beauvoir section of Biloxi on December 14, 2022, snapping pine limbs and damaging roofs along Brady Drive and Tara Lane.
- On August 29, 2021, a waterspout made landfall near Railroad Street, causing extensive roof damage near Witman Avenue and uprooting trees across residential blocks.
- Harrison County enforces stricter tie-down and flashing standards for roof replacements within coastal flood zones, adding inspection steps and material specifications.
- Hurricane activity peaks in August and September; hail season runs April through June. Scheduling replacement outside these windows reduces weather delays.
