That table only includes huricanes that have struck mainland USA, which

LIAR. Cheap whore sucking the Petroleum Jelly Pipeline. HURDAT is the
only databses we have for Atlantic Basin cyclones. It includes every
one known to date, pending further reviews of obsure historical sources
refining the passages of ancient storms through ships logs and yellowed
newspapers copied to microfilms.


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.

LIAR, TRAMP. Big Gobs of Goo drolling down your chin onto your Blue
Dress, Monica.


Tricky things, statistics - one word can change the whole meaning of a
graph or table.

Yeah. Look at Lomborg.

That's why I provided the data in two versions, with link to the
original HURDAT. So people could do their OWN STATISTICS and not be
lied to by ANYBODY.

Then Check your whore figures to the ones you actually produce with
your own calculator. See whose lying and who is telling the truth.
