Hurricane Blaster Article

With all the recent news about Hurricane Katrina and Hurricane Rita, I found
this article with what seemed like a great idea.
What if we could manipulate these super hurricanes by dropping a bomb on them? or releasing
these silver iodide crystals to weaken the storms? The article I've posted for this week
discusses these ideas and a few others. It reminded me of attempts to destory comets and they like from hitting Earth in many recent sci-fi drama films. Unfortunately, scientists seem to believe there's no way to control Mother Nature, another big theme in sci-fi...could the conseuqences of trying to control the uncontrollable be worse than the effects of such giant storms? What if we somehow made the storms even more powerful?
