4. Not true at all about the Atlantic storms except cost

Overall, the 2022 Atlantic hurricane season featured near normal
activity in terms of the number of named storms and hurricanes, but
was slightly below average in terms of the number of major
hurricanes.

...In terms of Accumulated Cyclone Energy
(ACE), which measures the strength and duration of tropical storms
and hurricanes, activity in the basin in 2022 was slightly
below average. The ACE for 2022 is 80 percent of the long-term
(1991-2020) mean.

The higher cost is due to where the storms hit and the extreme appreciation of property values in those areas over the last few years.
