Category 5 hurricanes were a lot more frequent in the past. It is a mystery why the frequency of these cat 5's dropped off beginning 1,100 years ago.

I'm curious how anyone could know the frequency of Cat 5's 1,100 years ago as opposed to today...

The study I read about dealt with sand grain size in the sediment of coastal lakes. Apparently only a cat 5 can carry certain grain sizes of sand far enough to fall into these coastal lakes. I only remember Lake Shelby as one of the lakes used in the study.
