Atlantic Hurricane Numbers By Year: 1851-2017 Scroll to the bottom of the list. Sure looks like a general increase in the number of "names storms" and "hurricanes" since 1995, but not so much for "major hurricanes".
Named Storms = Tropical Storms, Hurricanes and Subtropical Storms Hurricanes = Saffir-Simpson Hurricane Scale 1 to 5 Major Hurricanes = Saffir-Simpson Hurricane Scale 3, 4, or 5
May the source be with you.
The data source is mentioned at the bottom of the page, but I couldn't find the document mentioned. I could convert the data to a graph for those reader anticipating a "dog leg".
As usual, there might be a conspiracy theory involved in the alleged increasing severity of hurricanes. There seems to be a connection between the storm category number and the availability of federal aid and assistance. Bigger numbers seem to get more which makes it beneficial to escalate the category numbers (number creep): Hurricane Maria was only a Cat 4, so Puerto Rico is complaining that aid was inadequate and slow. Next disaster, they'll go for a Cat 5 and maybe they'll get more and quicker aid.
