I think they’re splitting hairs on a lot of the “historical” information. It actually doesn’t go back that far before the advent of global radar.

The media’s collective memory only goes back to Katrina.

Repeat after me: "There was no Andrew, there was no Camille. There was no Andrew, there was no Camille..."

Of course it only goes back to when they started tracking these storms and that’s just a few years. As technology improves so will the data gathered for each storm. Keep in mind that a lot of people weren’t around for some of the other deadly storms. Part of the problem with Katrina was that a lot of people didn’t remember Camille or Betsy. Katrina was the third most intense landfalling hurricane after the 1935 Labor Day storm and Camille.
