The answer is no. 90% of the infrastructure that exists today didn't exist in the 1980s. The frequency of storms is not increasing, but the amount of expensive shit in their path has increased exponentially.

High speed internet lines, much of the expanded power grid, additional roads, buildings, homes, etc. And that doesn't even consider the increased property value of the area. A home worth 80k in 1980 is selling for 480k today. Or do you think 1980 Miami is exactly the same as 2022 Miami?
