US June hurricane frequency has declined by 80% since the 1850s. June hurricane landfalls used to occur about once every four years, but now they occur less than once every 20 years.

Obama is hoping to restore the US climate to lower levels of CO2.

Too bad we don’t have as detailed (i.e., satellite) a record of hurricanes dating back to the beginning of the LIA. Now, that would be interesting!
The NHC declared that two tropical storms made landfall in June 2013 — one in Florida (Andrea) and one in Mexico (Barry). No land-based weather stations I’m aware of recorded tropical storm strength winds for either storm. Recall that no land-based station recorded hurricane force winds for last year’s Hurricane Sandy. So even if the NHC declares a hurricane hit the U.S., people who employ the skepticism of classical science should confirm the reports.
The NHC needs government grants to survive. Just like climate alarmists do.
