Strong El Niño effects are known to actually limit hurricanes, so at least there's that.

Huh, good to know. I would have expected the opposite. That does make me feel better, thanks

Yeah, it's the wind currents, they tend to sheer off the tops of accumulating clouds and take a lot of power out of the storms.
