I ahve read something in one of my AMS journals on this. It is available online, but you have to be a member. It is very interesting to think, if we're in a quiet period based on centuries, what was it like hundreds of years ago, and worse yet, what will it be like hundreds of years from now!

Very interesting...thanks for the link! I saved it.

During decades of the 1970s, 1980s and early 1990s, these intense hurricanes were less frequent than in past decades. However, property losses from hurricanes increased during these years because of development in damage prone areas. However, starting in 1995, intense hurricane have become much more frequent. It is quite possible that this increase marks the beginning of an era of active hurricane conditions that may last 10 to 40 more years because of forcing by the Atlantic multidecadal mode.

What do you forecasters/mets think about that?
