Stay safe guys, Paul, be sure to put a few extra tie downs on your ultralight. Maybe let the helium out of the tires and roll cage. You FL guys be sure and keep us posted as often as you can this weekend. You're in our thoughts and prayers. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/grouphug.gif)

not that we should be f'n with mother nature more than we already do....but has anyone (mostly the US I guess) tried to "stop" or slow down a hurricane using explosives??

something small and harmless like a thermo-nuclear device set off in the eye of the storm???? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/cool.gif)

They should name the next hurricane "Hannibal" as bad as they've been this year!

Thanks, try that next time a hurricane hits California, leave this one au natural.

I don't need 160 mph fallout.

Oh, by the way, a hurricane like Ivan is on the order of 5000 megatons..

Don't try to stop it, just get the hell out of it's way, or not.

I ain't goin' no damned where.

Be safe, florida guys... I've dodged the occasional tornado up here, but i couldn't imagine going through a hurricane, let alone three of them.

Hitting it in the eye of the storm would IMHO actually make it worse. A storm is a localized low pressure area. After the bang you have nothing so even more of a low pressure area.

I read somewhere that they tried seeding the clouds and it worked.
Some countries that depended on the rain from the hurricanes didnt like the idea.

One thing is for damn sure, it screws up dyno testing!

Tuesday as we caught the rest of Frances I was on the dyno. 2 Days before I was also on the dyno with the same engine and had to stop in the middle of a test due to an oil leak....

Our normal air pressure here is about 28.23-28.47 most of the time. When this storm came through were dropped down into the 27.17 range at some points and wow did it do things to the engine. I had to give up because our tuning was radically different. On Monday the engine ran great, not a ping- nothing. during the rain storm it was so different that it was pinging like crazy!

Very wild. I have never seen pressure here that low before.

They seeded one off the coast here in the 1950s, it was moving north...

It suddenly changed course, and killed 6,000 people.

You may want to keep the Nuke talk on the "down low".

In Alberta the insurance companies who cover local farmer's crops seed the clouds with silver iodide every year in order to avoid hail stones. They used to lose so much money to crop damage that they now spend millions in order to change the weather, avoid the hail and the 100s of millions in claims.
