The problem is a busy season says nothing about costs potential or otherwise.

You can have a mild tropical storm, just stay in an area and dump rain and be far more destructive than a powerful hurricane that is compact and fast moving.

Also where they hit, when they hit and there are just too many factors to give meaning to a busy season.
