Bad news Ted. A recent study concluded that the weather isn't getting more extreme:

> As it happens, the project's initial findings, published last month, show no evidence of an intensifying weather trend. "In the climate models, the extremes get more extreme as we move into a doubled CO2 world in 100 years," atmospheric scientist Gilbert Compo, one of the researchers on the project, tells me from his office at the University of Colorado, Boulder. "So we were surprised that none of the three major indices of climate variability that we used show a trend of increased circulation going back to 1871."

They have the equipment for the smaller storms. Its the bigger storms that happen every 6 years where they fall short.

Some of the "smaller storms" are barely smaller. I very much doubt their performance is nearly as binary as you represent it.
