Summary:
Category 5 hurricanes may have slammed Florida repeatedly during the chilly Younger Dryas, 12,000 years ago. The cause? Hurricane-suppressing effects of cooler sea surface were out-weighed by side effects of slowed ocean circulation.

Makes sense. Slow ocean circulation probably translated to slower oceanic steering currents. End result.... Less fuel (heat) for storm intensification, but offset by the storms that creeped along a few mph., giving them extra time to intensify.
More proof that Mother Nature self heals and soothes, despite what all the AGW envirowhackos think. Speculative on my part, but I'd wager these storms 12,000 years ago curved less often, and less dramatically too.
