That graph is US hurricane hits WC - there is definately a decrease in hurricane activity globally, but a dramatic increase in the strength of hurricanes.

Overall, there is more opinion voiced that the cause of the power increase in hurricanes is due to a global increase of sea surface temperatures. The US and Caribbean hurricane hits are generally up around 50% in strength since the 1970's.

Hell knows what this means or the logic of it - there are prob several other factors involved.
