US Hurricanes Becoming Much Less Common

Hurricanes used to hit the US almost every year, but in recent years hurricanes have been much less common. The US was hit by at least one hurricane every year from 1938 to 1950, and again from 1952 to 1961.  By contrast, there were no US hurricane strikes in 2006, 2009, 2010 or 2013.
