Nuking a hurricane

[JustAGuy]

I have to agree with you. That's not to sound unsympathetic, just realistic. Tornadoes and Hurricanes on the east coast and tropical areas, simiarly earthquakes on the west coast, are natures way of balancing things. They have beautiful (to most people's standards) weather all the time, and sooner or later, it comes time for them to pay for it. Most everywhere else, things are more moderate, and usually stay that way, but in those aforementioned places, the crap really seems to hit the fan. And in the Tornado and Hurricane-prone areas, the fan flies away and hits the neighbour's house, causing thousands of dollars of damage. Poor bastards!

I live near Lake Ontario; it' a very nice, moderate climate for most of the year. Winters are never too harsh, summers never exceedingly scorching. The worst thing to happen to us here was the Ice Storm of 7 or 8 years ago. That's right, we had some extra ice. Ah, gotta love it here. :)
