I may be crazy, but I have a theory. With the hurricanes getting stronger every year, would it be possible to disrupt the rotational pattern of the storm? My theory is could the military use the bombs similar to the ones they used in Vietnam to clear landing areas and attach altitude meters on them and set them to go off at a certain point in the hurricane and maybe disrupted the pattern? Maybe knocking it down a little. It sure would put some weapons to good use. I'm not a scientist so I don't know if that would even work. It's just a theory. What's everybody’s opinion on this?

My opinion is that the amount of mass inertness is far beyond what can provide even the most powerful weapons. But as you, I am not a scientist in atmospheric dynamism. It would be worth for a specialst to give it a serious thought...

just to bring to mind the great awesomeness of nature, a Cat 4 Hurricane carries the destructive Kenetic potential of a 10 megaton nuclear warhead being detonated every 20 minutes.

And for those who think global warming is to blame, guess again. This event of two cat 4 hurricanes crashing into the Gulf Coast happened once before in August/September of 1915. One hit New Orleans, the other Texas.

I'm getting tired of the idiot blame games being thrown around over Catrina, it seems to me that the people of the Gulf Coast got "stupid's disease" after Hurricane Camille ripped them up back in 1969. I remember these people year after year saying..."You know, one of these days we're going to get socked by a good one and the levvies around the Big Easy will break and.....duh....let's have another Marti Grah!"

You get what you asked for.

Astroscan


Prior analysis based on gestaltic and psionic interspatial constructionist data
has proven correct. the "Murrsalat" sequence has now been confirmed.
The Astroboy Photonic weapons are charging. Felinus Rex main sequence
commences. The energy levels appear to be Sabaothian.... Sothic. Yog Sothoth?

[ On a morning from a Bogart movie
In a country where they turn back time
You go strolling through the crowd like Peter Lorre
Contemplating a crime
She comes out of the sun in a silk dress running
Like a watercolour in the rain
Don't bother asking for explanations
She'll just tell you that she came
In the year of the cat

She doesn't give you time for questions
As she locks up your arm in hers
And you follow 'till your sense of which direction
Completely disappears
By the blue tiled walls near the market stalls
There's a hidden door she leads you to
These days, she says, I feel my life
Just like a river running through
The year of the cat

Well, she looks at you so cooly
And her eyes shine like the moon in the sea
She comes in incense and patchouli
So you take her, to find what's waiting inside
The year of the cat

Well, morning comes and you're still with her
And the bus and the tourists are gone
And you've thrown away the choice and lost your ticket
So you have to stay on
But the drum-beat strains of the night remain
In the rhythm of the new-born day
You know sometime you're bound to leave her
But for now you're going to stay
In the year of the cat

Sorry Dfrag, I don't aspire to a couple of radical Socialist liars.

No one talked about global warming here, nor said any stupidity about Katrina, so why do you start on that topic? I even did a search on "global warming" on this forum and found only one match: yours.

You can't talk about "Socialist liars" without calling for other expressions such as "Democrate liars", "Republican liars", "Communist liars", or "X liars" where X is a member of an element of the set of political organisations.
If they are liars, exhibate lies. Otherwise don't throw biased assertions.

This was the exact answer to the initial question, and I am glad someone had an information to give an idea of the strength of a hurricane. In my opinion no one needed to say more.

Much of what these two have been writing about has already been debunked by the mainstream media. People like this have an expressed agenda and as always people such as these will do or say anything to help their agenda.

What gets me though is how the Japanese for instance can show such detailed preperations and operations to avert and reduce the outcome of disasters...take for instance all the work they have done near Mount Unzen in the last decade, clearing and constructing a lahar and lava path for future eruptive episodes and the yearly detailed drills around Tokyo for the next expected "great quake" How can anyone tell me that you'd have the right or even the gaul to blame "certain people" for slow reactions and poor planning when it's so obvious the locals were so miserably unprepaired in their own right even after 30 plus years of warnings?

Insted of such lame and wishful thinking research into how to stop a hurricane, which is folly, perhaps we should put all our resources into toughening up areas, revitalizing natural defensive fronts such as swamps, marshlands and forests. Prepositioning emergency response equipment aboard all the retired Navy ships we have in America.

And perhaps the politicians and cry babys in the Gulf Coast region will shut up now and finally learn the damn lesson Camille should have tough them in 1969.

My fault. I had thought it was evident I didn't request you to give them on this forum. Are you aware this forum is not politically oriented? Astro forever has already linked to the discussion about political discussions, so I won't repeat it. I find strange by the way you still haven't seen it :unsure: If I wanted to discuss about politics in a forum where I am aware that so many people have voted and argumented against, I would at least try to explain why I do that, not you?
About what you said, I don't see any credible argument. Moreover, "debunked by the mainstream media" is an expression that puzzles me: I have a natural defience for the "mainstream media", as they are usually the preferred way for propaganda, whatever the country. As for the "expressed agenda", I would like you to name only ONE publicly politically oriented person who does not have one. By definition, they have one, otherwise they wouldn't be in politics.

The initial question was whether it was possible or not. Obviously, 2 people have said it wasn't. Why is it necessary to rant about people who do researches about this in this forum? Will it make realize they should stop? It would be far more efficient if you told them directly instead of ranting here.
