Your right what happens in a hurricane?

If I remember my meteorology correctly, hurricanes always form at least several degrees latitude north or south of the equator and never cross it (something to do with the Coriolis effect, I believe).

Since the elevator MUST be built on the equator, hurricanes should not be a problem.

Since the elevator MUST be built on the equator, hurricanes should not be a problem.

So that means that the real problem will be geopolitical.

The only countries that could host it are:

• Equador
• Colombia
• Brazil
• Gabon
• The Congos
• Uganda
• Kenya
• Somalia
• Indonesia

Not a very likely bunch of places unless things drastically change in those countries.
