A layman's guide to hurricanes....................

Do you believe hurricanes are getting more numerous?  Do you believe they are getting more powerful?   Is climate change a big deal when it comes to hurricanes?   Do you care?  Just for edification, we offer you this handy "Hurricane Count By President" chart.   Grover Cleveland appears to be the approximate cause of most hurricanes.  FDR seems to have matched Cleveland, but he had thirteen years in office.  George W. Bush made a good effort, but only comes in third.  Our current president doesn't seem very effective at causing hurricanes.   If you can spot a pattern worth basing predictions on, well, then you a better pattern spotter than moi.

The source for the chart (and a much larger one that you can actually read) and much more fun information is here.
