"Every thirty years or so, however, some regular shift in global weather patterns appeared to encourage the formation of hurricanes further north and increase the likelihood that they would affect The Bahamas and US eastern seaboard. These hurricanes would sweep across the Atlantic and not be disrupted by land or mountains until they were well inland in the USA."
(My comment/observation.) Extracted this excerpt because it seems to present a plausible explanation for 2017 being the year of the hurricanes. In other words, maybe it's not the effects of climate change. Maybe ... it's just normal weather patterns.
