From SciGuy, a fascinating graphic showing all known hurricane tracks since the 1880’s, on the Saffir-Simpson wind scale. The North Atlantic appears to dominate the most deadly storms category, but that likely is connected to the simple fact that the region is by far best documented.
Another example of the art of global warming…
I may be reading that map completely wrong, but it looks like China/Southeast Asia is getting the serious brunt from major storms in that graphic over the Pacific rather than the North Atlantic.

It does look that way, but I think the map is a little misleading…most of those storms miss, although apparently a typhoon is headed for Japan right now.
