It has been eight years since a hurricane struck Florida, the longest hurricane free period on record. Hurricanes used to strike Florida an average of once a year, but now they average one hurricane strike every other year.
Disrupting the Borg is expensive and time consuming!

Yea, but now they are rocket fueled and can be steered by CO2 to cause maximum damage. And it’s all your fault.
Not true. NPR says it is the fault of American high school children.
By “all your fault”, I meant the American people, which includes high school children, so I am claiming partial credit.
I think it is the seven year olds that point their finger and say bang that are causing the increase in CO2 and Hurricanes! The poor butterflies in Africa have been being blamed for much to long!
I hope the current downtrend continues. Here in Central Florida, we were hit by three hurricanes (Charley, Francis and Jeanne) in 2004. Downed trees, no power, canned food by candlelight and sleeping in one’s own sweat. What an absolute mess.
kirkmyers-
You forgot Ivan in 2004. I live near Tampa. We were told to evacuate for Charley. Half of the county went to the nearest concentration of motels and hotels- Orlando in central Florida.
And, that is precisely where Charley’s path wound up, unfortunately.
Yeah, I remember. What a mess.
I didn’t mention Ivan because it struck the panhandle, not the Orlando area where I live.

Here is image of Ivan at maximum strength. Thank goodness it didn’t strike Florida when winds were ramping up towards CAT 5 strength.

Maybe the increase in CO2 has caused cooling in Africa. That lead to fewer Butterflies being born. Which means there are fewer Butterflies flapping their wings and that leads to fewer hurricanes. More Butterflies in the Caribbean are being born at the right time to deflect the ‘Canes further north to hit the north Atlantic coast! 😉
Could be all that butterfly-induced upper-level wind shear.
After giving it more thought,I realize it is the folks in Florida that are breading butterflies to change the steering patterns and send the hurricanes to New York and New Jersey! 😉
Children just won’t know what hurricanes and tornadoes are,
Steve, you fit the wrong curve to the data. A Hansenian exponential is obviously what is required here.
Also, precautions must be taken when working with Hansenian exponentials with the form
exp(a +/- ib);
by definition, b=0.
Another reason I dislike averages, except maybe in sports. Florida has averaged zero hurricanes for the past eight years.
