Actually, IMO, I think my numbers may be a little high.
I noticed that after every hyperactive year (such as 1996 and 1934) the numbers of named storms were significantly lower.
1995 had a total of 19 named storms. 1996 only had 13.
1933 had a total of 21 named storms. 1934 only had 11.
One difference with the year after is that the ratio of named storms to hurricanes was much higher. In 1996, 9 out of the 13 stroms that had developed became hurricanes. In 1934, 6 out of the 11 storms that had developed became hurricanes, but of course that was in the pre satellite and recon era. So the real numbers may never be known.

You can change those numbers when the big poll comes in 7 days.

A few interesting Hurricane seasons:
A true cape verde season...1981.
Wow...could you imagine! The only US landfall in 1993 was a TD in far south Texas. It has been so long since we have seen years like this..
1933 was a bad year for Mexico!
And of course 2005..wow..still amazing to think that ALL of these storms occured last season.
