I looked at some hurricane archives, and since 1970 only 14 major hurricanes have made landfall in the US. They are:-
-Hurricane Celia (1970) -Hurricane Carmen (1974) -Hurricane Eloise (1975) -Hurricane Frederic (1979) -Hurricane Allen (1980) -Hurricane Alicia (1983) -Hurricane Elena (1985) -Hurricane Hugo (1989) -Hurricane Andrew (1992) -Hurricane Opal (1995) -Hurricane Fran (1996) -Hurricane Bonnie (1998) -Hurricane Bret (1999) -Hurricane Floyd (1999)
Notice that it is 5 years without a major landfall - the longest gaps since 1970 are four years. Surely this means that one is now overdue. Let's hope no one gets hurt this year.
Looks like Bret and Floyd in '99 were rare occurences - the last time more than one major hurricane hit the US was in 1964.
