If you want to see something neat, here is every tropical cyclone track since 1850*. A couple of noteworthy oddities:
The hurricane that hit Singapore was a once in a lifetime sort of event – way too close to the equator for normal circumstances.
The hurricane that hit South America was a big deal. I was all over that a few years ago.
There’s a hurricane track spinning north of Britian. I’d put money on that being an extratropical cyclone that was just miscategorized in the good ole days.
The depression that hit Spain though is real. I think that happened in the hyperactive hurricane season we had a few years ago.
One thing that has changed substantially is how storms over land are classified. Even if the storm remains coherent, after two days it’s almost always downgraded off the tropical scale now. Gone are the days when you have a hurricane like Camille skirting the Hudson Bay in Canada.
*OK, so ~1950 for the Indian and Pacific basins. And much has changed over the decades in how these things are tracked (which is one of the reasons why we supposedly have worse storms now than ever before due to ‘global warming’).
