I don’t want to be negative about New Orleans, but here in central Texas I know we are still seeing evacuees. Didn’t we just lose a major American city to a hurricane?

A “normal” hurricane makes a direct hit on New Orleans and all the media notices as well as the world. This world has gone through many cooling and warming cycles before and man can talk about the weather all he wants but he can’t change it.

Even in countries where there wasn’t destructive storms, they are showing more and more, along with floods.

And people are...their risk is being subsidized by federal policy, and state and local policy, and that is what the real problem is. It's not meteorological, it's societal. We're putting all this wealth in harm's way and we're getting creamed. What really does make a difference, of course, is that the population of these coastal regions has exploded.

The apparent increase in the proportion of very intense storms since 1970 in some regions is much larger than simulated by current models for that period.

It’s horrible when catastrophes like this happen, and we can only do our best to prepare and hope for the best.

Didn’t we just lose a major American city to a hurricane? I don’t want to be negative about New Orleans, but here in central Texas I know we are still seeing evacuees. More researchers and more research needed! Deborah I agree with Jackie. Didn’t we just lose a major American city to a hurricane?

There are also suggestions of increased intense tropical cyclone activity in some other regions where concerns over data quality are greater. Multi-decadal variability and the quality of the tropical cyclone records prior to routine satellite observations in about 1970 complicate the detection of long-term trends in tropical cyclone activity. There is no clear trend in the annual numbers of tropical cyclones. The apparent increase in the proportion of very intense storms since 1970 in some regions is much larger than simulated by current models for that period.
