217 - How would you dampen the mechanical vibration in a hurricaine/typhoon?

Though out of my area, it seems like with a carbon fiber cable we would create a permanent lightning bolt.

vibration dampening is an engineering problem (which I am not qualified to solve). But all bridges and buildings are designed to withstand the highest expected winds. That is why there are only a few examples of major buildings and bridges failing.
