Active Atlantic hurricane eras come with a speed bump for storms that approach the U.S.
Description: The hurricane record from the Atlantic Ocean shows phases of high and low activity that can last several decades at a time. Active eras spawn more hurricanes per season on average, especially major hurricanes. All else being equal, more major hurricanes overall ought to mean more major hurricane landfalls in the United States, but records show that isn't the case. [Source: NOAA Climate.gov]
