I heard a news report yesterday that during the last record year in the 1930's they may have counted one of the storms twice. But I agree, since we really have no accurate record keeping in the past, there is no way of telling how many storms formed in any particular year, given the erratic weather patterns and cycles that have pre-dated us. Can you imagine living in the southern or east coast states 150 years ago or more and not having that much of an advanced warning of an impending hurricane? I am so thankful for the technology available today with satelites, and planes that can go into a hurricane to take readings, along with computers that use the data to make predictions, and more accurate record keeping to track the histories of these storms.
