Because more people live in hurricane areas around the world today and weather tracking systems are not 100% accurate. There is also higher risk of property damage today because there are more hotels, etc on the coast which can not be moved no matter how much warning you have.

Is a hurricane worse or a earthquake?
Yes, overall hurricanes are worse than tornadoes. Tornadoes can be faster(the average tornado may have winds of about 70 mph, but they can get as high as 300 mph, and hurricanes can be 74 to about 200 mph) and maybe more destructive locally, but tornadoes are on average about 150 feet, and rarely over a mile and they usually travel no more than a few miles. Hurricanes are on average 300 miles wide. Tornadoes usually last for 10-13 minutes on average, hurricanes can last for days blowing nonstop. Additionally, hurricanes don't bring just strong winds, but torrential rain and flooding.

Is a closed eye hurricanes more dangerous?
I'm not really sure how that would be differentiated from a hurricane with an "open" eye - either it has an eye or it doesn't, or its in some grey area in between. Hurricanes that have well-formed eyes tend to be stronger simply because their structure is well organized by that point. Most tropical storms and some hurricanes do not have an eye, or at least a well-defined eye, and that indicates that the storm is a bit weaker and less dangerous.
