I also heard its somewhat cyclic every so many years is this true?

It is somewhat of a known cycle for hurricanes I believe it runs a in a 15 to 20 year period of high and lows (number of storms per year and intensity) kinda like the El Nino off of CA. Some of the experts believe we are on the UP Swing side of the curve and the next few years could be worst. I for one tend to believe this cause look over the pass 34 years there was not near as many storms as in this year alone, though there has been a few since 1969 (the year of Camille that also hit the MS Gulf Cost and N.O. which they think was a down side storm).
