TL:DR -- the number of hurricanes making landfall in the U.S. has NOT increased dramatically over the past century.

A hurricane is "a cyclone with winds of 74 miles (119 kilometers) per hour or greater."

I'm surprised nobody downgraded that to, you know, like 38 miles per hour, and re-statisticized the data to fit the narrative.

It's not like Lefties are averse to re-defining stuff.  Take "assault weapons" e.g. Or "mass shootings."  Or "child/children."  Or "arsenal." 

A relatively new one is the broad-brush use of the term "conspiracy theorist" for anyone who is not in line with the leftist agenda.
