1959 – Typhoon Vera, the strongest typhoon to hit Japan in recorded history, makes landfall, killing 4,580 people and leaving nearly 1.6 million others homeless.
More on Vera........note the year, 1959, this is important:

This was during global cooling but of course, 1 typhoon is just weather.
However, note this long list of all the strongest typhoons/hurricanes in history going back the last 65 years.
36 cyclones on the list below. I put the ones during global warming in bold...........4 of them. Most of the rest occurred during global cooling. Only storms having a central pressure below 900 millibars are listed. The vast majority occurred during global cooling.

1981 – Nolan Ryan sets a Major League record by throwing his fifth no-hitter
https://www.google.com/search?source=hp&ei=0-WqW-gEsWSzwLNv7HQBw&q=nolan+ryan+win+loss+record&oq=nolan+ryan+win+loss+re&gs_l=psy-ab.1.0.0j0i22i30.7306.29555..38703...0.0..0.319.3812.0j23j1j1......0....1..gws-wiz.......0i131j0i3j0i10.USm_MpQchmA
" Ryan was taught to play baseball by an elder brother and was a wild but fast pitcher in high school
before he was signed by the National League (NL) New York Mets in 1965. He pitched for their minor
league teams (1965–67), and, except for time out for military service, he pitched regularly for the
Mets through the 1971 season and was then traded to the American League (AL) California Angels.
Although he pitched brilliantly in relief for the Mets in 1969 when they won the pennant and the
World Series, he came into his own as a pitcher with the Angels, leading the league in strikeouts
seven of his first eight years with them (1972–74, 1976, 1977–79). In 1980 he moved as a free agent
to the NL Houston Astros, and he moved to the Texas Rangers in 1989.
" The extraordinarily durable Ryan was still a leading pitcher in his early 40s. In 1989 he struck out
his 5,000th batter; he also held the record for most strikeouts in a “live-ball era” (post-1920)
season (383 in 1973). He led the AL in strikeouts a total of 10 times and was the oldest pitcher
ever to lead a league in strikeouts (in 1990 at age 43). In 1991 Ryan, who was nicknamed the
“Ryan Express,” pitched his seventh no-hit game, establishing another record. He also held the
major league record for most games with 15 or more strikeouts in a career (26). In 1993 Ryan retired
from baseball, and in 1999 he was inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame. At the end of his 27-year
career in the major leagues, Ryan finished with 324 wins and 292 losses and an earned-run average of
3.19; he also finished fifth in innings pitched (5,386) and tied with former Mets teammate Tom Seaver
for seventh all-time in shutouts (61). "
Wonderful pick Carl!

Modern Day records below:
Most strikeouts
1. Ryan: 5,714
2. Randy Johnson: 4,875
3. Roger Clemens: 4,672
4. Steve Carlton: 4,136
5. Bert Blyleven: 3,701
Consider this -- since Deadball ended in 1920:
Most no-hitters: Ryan, 7
Most one-hitters: Ryan and Bob Feller, 12
Most two-hitters: Ryan, 18
Most three-hitters: Ryan, 31
Nobody came close to throwing as many wild pitches as Ryan. He threw 277 of them, 50 more than second-place Phil Niekro, just about double the total of active wild pitch leader Felix Hernandez. Again, Ryan was going for the strikeout, and if that meant planting the pitch in the dirt, he would absolutely do that.
As extraordinary as Ryan's strikeout record is, his walk record is perhaps even more unbreakable. Ryan walked 2,795 batters. No other pitcher in baseball history has even approached 2,000.
Remember what we did with strikeouts, adding together the top two active pitchers and showing they were still shy of Ryan's mark? Well, this is even crazier. Sabathia is first on the active walk list with 1,009. Colon is second at 923. Ubaldo Jimenez is third at 848.
Add all three together and you get 2,780 walks.
That is still short of Ryan's career walk total.
No pitcher has walked 150 batters in a season since 1991, when Johnson did it. Ryan walked 150 batters in a season five times. He walked 200 batters in a season twice. The only other pitcher to walk 200 batters in a season was a 19-year-old Bob Feller.

Thanks for your hard work Carl!
What's most interesting about that is that the 2 decades with the greatest global warming were the 1980's and 1990's.
Accumulated Cyclone Energy(ACE) from tropical systems did go up in the 1980's/90's but it appears as if the most extreme, strongest typhoons did not develop then, instead correlating with global cooling.
It's possible that the way they recorded typhoon winds in the 50's-70's made them stronger than what they really were. On the other hand, alot of ACE energy has been recorded since the 1970's, that we did not know about before satellites, so that ACE energy was undercounted before then.
