That is a pretty good point, how technology is a lot better and can be more precise as to how strong the storm is.

With huricanes though, the warmer the water, the stronger they will be. If the global temperature average has only risen (I think) 1* in the last 30 years, then hurricanes can't be gettin stronger. But theres a difference between the ocean getting warmer vs. the climate. There could be underwater geisers pumping out hot water (seen about on a documentary) that can cause the ocean temp to rise which would help the hurricanes. The underwater geisers would have nothing to do with "global warming."
