So Hubby works somewhere where he gets a lot of interesting e-mail especially about ways to stop natural disaster type things. Anyways today he got the following two e-mails:

Would it be possible to drop a bomb, especially a thermal bomb, in the eye of the storm, thus disrupting the flow pattern and destroying the hurricane? I was wondering if such an idea has ever been analyzed or tried before. Could this therory be also used on tornatos, or, are they sustained differently.

He gets the e-mail about bombing hurricanes everytime one hits the US. It is rather amusing how many people come up with this idea.

my idea is to create a machine that can slow down the hurricaine. this machine is like a fan, maybe we could disassemble a helicopter, or a few, and i guess flip the propellor over so instead of lifting the helicoptor, it would be pushing air away. now what if we were to channel that air into a finer stream…and punch several holes into the clouds that make the hurricaine. would this slow the hurricaine down?

As my hubby said, Why didn’t we thinkg of this before? We can stop hurricanes and typhoons with a GIANT FAN!!!!
