Many believe we're entering a cycle in which violent storms are going to be more frequent, and in which the likelihood of a disastrous strike will be greater than ever. The scientists' pet nightmare is of the Big One--a catastrophic storm that could do $100 billion dollars' worth of damage and kill thousands of people.
