So, curious about the so-called Hurricane Season I found this:

It made it to the FAQ!

what does it say, cant link from here

is it why dont we nuke hurricanes to dispearce them????

To cite the site above:- "During each hurricane season, there always appear suggestions that one should simply use nuclear weapons to try and destroy the storms. Apart from the fact that this might not even alter the storm, this approach neglects the problem that the released radioactive fallout would fairly quickly move with the tradewinds to affect land areas and cause devastating environmental problems. Needless to say, this is not a good idea."

It then goes on to give quite an interesting scientific account.

plus putting all that extra energy into an already powerfull weather system could produce a super huricane...

if the forming storm were seeded to drop the water wouln't that work better???

or high altitude "cryo bombs" to cool the storm and stall the hurricane formation????

I like the chinese 'cloud seeding artillery'.

It's an anti-air gun loaded with shells set to explode at a certain altitude, and filled with the necessary chemicals.

Of course, sometimes they fail to go off and you find someone a few miles away with an anti-aircraft shell through their face.

I think the best way to avoid hurricanes/floods/etc. is to not live in their way. People are happy to live in New Orleans (it's below sea level!?!) but complain when they get damp. That's just silly.

You mean it's not true? Not every problem can be solved with a big enough explosion? You're undermining our Way of Life with that kind of talk!

I suppose another way to solve the issue would be to explode anyone in danger of hurricane etc. then they would not be in danger any more
