there's more people on the planet than 100 years ago do the math think of the numbers in 100, 200 500 years from now. even 40 years ago a hurricane on the NC coast would damage a couple of cabins and mobil homes, now 10000s of giant beach houses

By Atlantic standards that typhoon would be a Cat 4 hurricane: This typhoon wasn't even a CAT 5 as we rate them in our hemisphere. There have been 35 Category 5 hurricanes in the Atlantic since they have kept records. en.wikipedia.org Weather officials said Haiyan had sustained winds of 235 kilometers per hour (147 miles per hour), with gusts of 275 kph (170 mph), when it made landfall. By those measurements, Haiyan would be comparable to a strong Category 4 hurricane in the U.S., and nearly in the top category, a 5. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2013/11/09/philippines-typhoon-haiyan-casualties_n_4245578.html ht fubho
