I think thats a generally fair statement. However, one of the things predicted is an increase in severity and recurrence of these events. For instance, around half of the Atlantic hurricanes to have the lowest recorded pressure (linked to strength of hurricane) have occurred in the last 10-15 years. Something like that can be tied to warming waters in the Carribean and Gulf of Mexico which could be tied to global warming.
So when these events occur, I think its very important for experts to be precise in what they say. Severe weather has always been a problem. But many times it is a bigger problem because of climate issues.
