There have been NO major hurricane (Cat 3 or greater) landfalls in the US since Oct 2005.
So who made you the global climate expert that states only CAT 3 hurricanes are "major" hurricanes??
Remember Hurricane Sandy that devastated the Easy Coast?? duhhhhhhhh
and just because hurricanes don't make landfall doesn't mean it's not an active season
2008 - A very active season occurred in 2008, with 17 depressions, 16 named storms, eight hurricanes and five major hurricanes. This season will definitely be remembered most for Hurricane Ike, which devastated a large portion of Galveston, Texas. This was the third most costly hurricane on record behind Katrina and Hurricane Andrew in 1992. After Texas, it continued into the Midwest and moved east all the way to Pennsylvania, producing major flooding along the way.
Also, in case you are not aware, there are other continents and countries in the world besides the U.S.
that's why it's called "global climate change"... duhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
Typhoon Haiyan, known as Typhoon Yolanda in the Philippines, was one of the strongest tropical cyclones ever recorded, which devastated portions of Southeast Asia, particularly the Philippines, on November 8, 2013. [1] It is the deadliest Philippine typhoon on record, [2] killing at least 6,268 people in that country alone. [3] Haiyan is also the strongest storm recorded at landfall, and unofficially the strongest typhoon ever recorded in terms of wind speed. [4] As of January 2014, bodies were still being found. [5]
