No, I was not intending you make that interpretation.
Without thinking too hard, it seems for the last 10 years or so the incidence and locations of severe weather related events has been on the rise … fires, floods, droughts, and possibly hurricanes.
I suspect a portion of these events occur in places not previously recording such events or where such events are extremely rare.
A global index of severe weather events going back as far as researchers could take it might shed light on this discussion.
