Answer?
Zero and if you did, you are, (despite it being true) a vicious climate denier and Oil co. lackey.
Now, how many prophesied a flurry of same due to GW as they blamed GW for the very same of the past? ? Well the better Q is, who didn't.
I chopped a few paragraphs off the top to fit the meat of the article here.
talk about an inconvenient timeout by Mother Nature, the GW crew must be beside themselves. A 100 year record, most especially at that early point of the Industrial rev. is big stuff eh? I am sure they will find some excuse to back out of their past remarks and prognostications....

Weather, Not Climate
snip-
As of today it has been 2,226 days since the last major hurricane (Category 3 or higher) hit the US mainland. Unless a big hurricane hits this winter, it means we are on track to break a 100 year record for the longest gap between major hurricanes hitting the coast. (The last Big Calm was between 1900 and 1906.)
For those of you who are confused, let me remind you: the only meteorological phenomena that count are the ones that confirm the climate alarmist case. It doesn’t matter what it is — drought, flood, blizzard, heat wave — if it can be made to support fear about the climate, it matters and it needs to be thoroughly analyzed and widely publicized.
Meteorological phenomena that, to the unsophisticated, might appear to undermine the case that WE ARE ALL GOING TO DIE if we don’t immediately pass a stringent carbon treaty, are meaningless and should be ignored.
A spate of hurricanes is climate; an absence of big storms is weather. The absence of any major hurricanes for six years is a meaningless phenomenon; should a couple of big ones hit in any given year, then every editorial page in the country will fill with hand wringing, dire warning and I told you so.
And remember, the science is settled. Anybody who asks how many of the climate change models predicted this absence of major hurricane events in the US six years ago is a vicious climate denier, is funded by the oil companies, and should be dealt with by the usual methods.
