If history shows Category 4 and 5 hurricanes nearly doubled in occurrence in from 1970 to 2004, it may indicate a trend.

Still siding with what I believe is a consensus in the scientific community, that man is impacting the climate and global warming over time is going to be a major problem. How much time is up for debate, but even the scientific community might not have a handle on if that process could accelerate at some point.

This season has been crazy to be sure and the amount of "Climate Change" whether man made , natural, or reasonably a combination of both.

There has been a lot of sky is falling and frankly, stupid commentary (usually in less than 140 characters) on this being as a result of Global Warming, if not Trump's fault.

One particular piece getting undue traction is that since 1851, when these were recorded, the only Cat 4 / Cat 5 Atlantic hurricanes are increasing due to Global Climate Change (not mentioned the 10 year drought of major storms)

These storms have been hitting the Caribbean and CONUS for , well, forever, and since before those naming conventions were ever whispered.

Law of Averages? Bad Luck? Global Climate Reordering?
