You're right: For the benefit of some who have to ward off the libidiots, I'm going to repost what I said last thread's

On the same web site, but not easily found with the previous link, is this document detailing "Hurricanes striking U.S. by decade":
http://www.nhc.noaa.gov/pastdec.shtml

One quick way to look at this table: Since records were kept beginning 1850 (or so) the average number of hurricane strikes on the US has been 17.7/decade.

We have had FEWER than that average number of strikes since 1950. This decade, we are finally on a pace that would exceed that average for the first time since the 24 in since the 1940's.

Side note:
I wonder if the political opposition was blaming the US intervention in Europe and Asia, or our burning oil and coal, for all those 1940's hurricanes?

Yes, this stuff is the ammunition to use against the global warming lie. It totally shreds that lie to pieces. As I said, the fanatics and enemies of truth will reject it... but there are a few people who have heard only the lies and are misinformed and might be enlightened.

The decades of the 1870's, 1880's, and 1940's had so much hurricane activity, our current decade may not exceed them.
