Re: Could Gulf Coast become uninhabitable?
 

I think they should just shut down the area to residential living. I would just make it an oil producing region only. Rebuilding NO is not worth it for a cup of jumbalaya.

What would happen is they just detonated some sort of giant explosive in one of these storms while it was still off the coast.
Would it simply alter it's direction? increase wind speeds? decrease wind speeds? completely destroy the storm? create two separate storms with 1/2 the first storms power? reveal who was really behind the hurricanes (Storm from X-Men)?

The energy in one of these storms is just tremendous. Our worst H bomb is but a fire cracker by comparison. (btw, this is something to remember for those of you who think humans are the driving force in global warming, etc. - our power is tiny compared to mother nature).
