I seem to recall the govt. experimenting with cloud seeding back in the 60's without very much favorable results.

They tried seeding them to make the eyewall disintegrate, but then they discovered that the big hurricanes normally replace the eyewall anyway and that the seeding made no difference.

If memory serves me right the program I was thinking of had to with attempts to harness or to at least manipulate nature to relieve drought conditions in some areas of West Texas and Oklahoma and they ended up finding out that nature just isn't going to cooperate with mans puny attempts to do so..
