I was under the impression that the number of hurricanes that made landfall had been increasing in recent decades, but the bottom chart suggests it’s about constant. Maybe it’s just the total number of storms then?

I was under the same impression, but it might just be that storms are getting more intense, and therefore we remember more of them in recent times.
