Bull crap. The only thing different is that every remote jungle village is full of jungle people with cell phones. Add in the satellite surveillance and you are going to have a whole lot more reporting of events which would otherwise be missed.

Think of the Galveston Hurricane in 1900. It hit without warning, and between 6000 and 12000 people were killed. It was the deadliest natural disaster in US history. Global warming hadn't been invented yet. And radio communications was still in its mother's womb.

Such a storm taking the world by surprise could never happen today.

I need to see a hurricane breakdown for the two periods. They don’t give it.
