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.

Hurricanes get their energy from the warmth of oceans.


What do some scientists blame for an increase in the strength of hurricanes?

Why do some countries suffer from hurricanes more than others?

Hurricanes most often form over warm water with an upper atmosphere consisting of moist high pressure and high winds. They are driven by their rotational forces and high altitude winds. Thus, they are most likely to form in the western Pacific Ocean, then the western Atlantic Ocean, and then the Indian Ocean, east of India. The South Atlantic for the most part is a cold ocean. Conditions are seldom right in that location for hurricanes to form.


Are hurricanes given names and tropical storom not?

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.
