I see the Global Warming deniers are touting the "hurricane drought" line, conveniently ignoring that Hurricane Sandy (2012) used to be the 2nd most costly hurricane to batter the USA, right in the middle of the so called hurricane pause period. 

Most Texas Federal Politicians, except 1, voted against Federal Relief for Hurricane Sandy Victims. Now the shoe is on the other foot. In any case, climate models predict fewer hurricanes, but with more intense rainfall and winds, as the ocean waters warm.
