Has the frequency of natural disasters increased over the last 100 years?

Yes it has definatly changed. Weather patterns and global warming has significaly changed, so it would have to play a part in the frequency of Natural Disasters. I would say especially hurricanes. Just in the past 30 years Tropical storms, and Hurricanes have increased both by how many and the distance they travel. #0 years ago I was 8 years old and in Manahawkin NJ we had so many snow storms, the snow would stick on the ground and we actually had days to shovel snow and play. Now The Snow storms are very weak and the snow that does stick is washed away either the same day or the next day. No fun.
