COUNT THEM YOURSELF: HURRICANE NUMBERS CLEARLY HAVE GONE DOWN, NO QUESTION ABOUT IT
That table only includes huricanes that have struck mainland USA, which
is a subset of all Atlantic storms.
It is also affected by the multi-decadal osscillation, as the position
of surrounding anticyclones changes the tracks cyclicly, and therefore
the odds of them hitting the USA.
Tricky things, statistics - one word can change the whole meaning of a
graph or table.
