Fox News reports six major hurricanes during November since 1910.

But here is the interesting part. Their names were Kate, Lenny, Michelle, Greta, 7 and 10. In other words they were the eleventh, twelfth, thirteenth, seventh (twice) and tenth of their respective seasons.

Sandra was number 19 and one month earlier besides.

Trying to misrepresent the data?

We did not have 19 Atlantic hurricanes in 2012.

I counted 10 hurricanes. It's possible that I missed one or two, but I don't think I did.

Keep in mind that in the 1900s, we did not have the techology we have today to survey the weather. Unless a tropical storm or hurricane hit land in a location that would report it, it would be less likely to be noticed. With the technology we have today, it is unlikely that we could have a tropic storm or hurricane go unnoticed.

So to compare the count of named storms in 2013 to those much earlier in the season is nothing but misleading.
