28 years is noting in a weather cycle. Some decades long. The
hurricane cycle is about 30-60 years long, we've spent the last 30 years
in a very quiet period. From the late 1890's-1960's it was much more
active, but far fewer people lived in coastal areas, especially on the
South Atlantic and Gulf Coasts of the US. Not to mention that
communications were much slower. During that period the city of
Galveston was nearly cleaned off the coast of Texas, there were major
disasters in the Florida Keys, in 1938 an unnamed storm killed several
hundred people in New England and reshaped the shore line for decades to
come, and an entire thriving island community just off shore from New
York simply ceased to exist after a storm in the 1890's, and was almost
forgotten. The world has been a dangerous and difficult place since
before you were born and will be so long after you're dead.
