I decided to separate the hurricanes into 10-year sections. Here is the result.

1851-60: 17 1911-20: 21 1971-80: 15 1861-70: 17 1921-30: 17 1981-90: 18 1871-80: 20 1931-40: 24 1991-00: 15 1881-90: 20 1941-50: 31 2001-10: 23 1891-00: 28 1951-60: 35 2011-20: 19 1901-10: 23 1961-70: 17 2021-24: 12

It sure looks like the 10 year trend doesn’t follow the “Hurricanes are more frequent and more dangerous” narrative.

I fully expect them to stick with the “Hurricanes are causing more damage than ever before” narrative.
