Just before the Katrina thing there was this freeper (name withheld) who was asserting that it is possible for 'hurricane generators' to be placed, or focussed, on the West coast of Africa and used for hurricane genesis. And once a storm (that would grow into a hurricane) was formed, other machines would control the tempest and vector it towards the US.

And when i asked how the energy for the generators would be created, since hurricanes are basically insanely powerful (one way of measuring hurricane strength, which looks at the total amount of energy released by the condensation of water droplets, gives the energy therein as 200 times the world-wide electrical generating capacity; while the second method, which measures amount of kinetic energy generated to maintain the strong swirling winds, has it at about half the world-wide electrical generating capacity). Thus I was curious as to where the energy for such an endeavor as controlling the maelstrom would arise from. Answer: Satellites orbitting the earth, tapping on solar winds, as well as the magnetosphere of the earth.

Thus I am not surprised that some weatherguy is saying that the Yakuza is using Ruskie tech to get back at Uncle Sam for Hiroshima and Nagasaki. At least there is no talk of magnetosphere tapping satellites!

Oh, and don't get me started on the kooks who see funny shapes in the swirling bands of a hurricane.

Well, a real nutball would argue that the hurricane generator doesn't need to provide the energy to create the hurricane (the ocean does that) just energy to create the conditions for hurricane genesis (which might be much smaller).
And of course, the hurricane generator would use Tesla "free energy" generators for power. ROFLMAO.
