I think now more than ever it is utmost important for lay-persons and professionals alike to pay particularly close attention to these; and pleasant blow-back might be a popularity to do so...
This will save lives...
We are (belive it or not) only in the beginnings of a multi-decadal upswing in hurricane frequencies. That doesn't say much for intensities (per seasonal averages) but that the cyclic periodicity of occurrence frequency is on the upswing, right on schedule! Having said that, we are also about mid way through a cyclic upswing in the frequency of boneheads and ding-dong municipalities that actually think the finite prominence of man can withstand the elements of nature, by placing large urban districts and/or vacation depots next to 90F prooving grands for tempest. The other thing, there is conjecture that global warming influence may mean that while the frequency is upswinging, more percentages of those numbers of storms will excell to these terrifying levels.
I think it is imparative that in a burgeoning coastal population that will likely still proceed despite recent assults, that people garner a keener awareness as a kind of a ....cultural motif. That way, when we say that a cat 4 or 5 is bearing down on the next NO, they won't say "NO" way.
