Monster storms increase since '95

Knight Ridder Newspapers

HURRICANE FRANCES

WASHINGTON ? If it seems as if more monster hurricanes, such as the
soon-to-strike Frances, are swirling off the U.S. coast, you're right.
We're in the midst of a record-breaking decade of hurricane activity.

And it's likely to get worse, some experts predict.

The past nine years, from 1995 through 2003, mark the busiest, most
intense nine-year storm period on record, based on the National
Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's hurricane season index. The
number takes into account how many storms develop, how strong their
winds are and how long they last.

Since 1995, there's been an average of 13.3 named storms, 7.7
hurricanes and 3.6 major hurricanes (with winds of more than 111 mph)
each year. That's 50 percent higher than the 118-year average of 8.6
named storms, 5.1 hurricanes and two major hurricanes a year.

Just why it's been so busy lately is widely debated. Some experts
point to global warming, and others say it's just part of natural
cycles.

(Contrast this "some experts say..." with the

"There is little dispute, either, about the underlying cause. Every
expert contacted by the Sunday Herald last week blamed the global
warming triggered by increasing emissions of greenhouse gases like
carbon dioxide into the atmosphere."
