(note the pre Katrina date on this latter).
My overall conclusion:
- frequency - no way of telling. A more unstable climatic world is likely to have more extreme climatic events
- intensity - intensity is directly correlated with surface temperature of the ocean, and that seems to be rising, albeit erratically
A third point:- one of the articles I referenced above points out the biggest danger to NYC is what I think they call 'North Atlantic Storms' rather than hurricanes. These have lower peak wind speeds, but last longer and dump more water.
