Yes, storms gain and lose intensity. We're not terribly concerned about a hurricane that never touches land.

And your list proved the point. The last two decades exhibited many more CAT5 storms than previous decades.

I wasn't referring to the damage from any particular storm, or the geography that made them worse. Just that there is more energy in the warmer oceans which is allowing storms to build greater intensities. And that energy comes from a combination of the greenhouse effect and less ice reflecting solar radiation back into space, and probably some other factors and feedback loops. That's mostly on humans.
