I was imprecise. I meant the worse storms would get more frequent. My point was that more frequent bad storms combined with modest sea level increase meant greater chance for overrun compared to just the sea level increase.

This is noted in the document you linked to, where they mention most of the models project an increase in of Atlantic hurricanes reaching Category 4 or 5 even at an optimistic 2 degree C rise. They do note it's somewhat uncertain though, I'll give you that.
