As far as I know, hurricane are cyclical in the atlantic (well, the atlantic is the only place for 'hurricanes') in 20 or 30 year cycles. Not sure if there is much relation to il nino.
As much as I believe that global warming due to human activity is pretty apparent, I am not sure this years crop of hurricanes is due to it. It seems to fit the longer range cycle of hurricanes.
Not sure if the cyclones in the pacific have varied in intenisty and frequency in cyclews over the years - any one got any info. That'd be interesting...
The Daily News here in NY ran an article about what parts of New York City would be underwater if a comprable storm the size of Katrina hit NYC. Not pretty. But at least we're not below sea level.
I think the superstorms are still a few decades off...
