i read an article the other day about how some chinese scientist had controlled the weather during the opening & closing ceremonies of the olympics. they fire off around 1,000 rockets into the atmosphere carrying somekind of chemical that stopped rain from developing. they only did that during the ceremonies because they spent so much $ putting those on and didn't want it rained out.

isn't that some crazy stuff? if thats true then they need to work on the hurricanes to try to weaken them down before they hit any populated areas.

Thats a brilliant idea, they tried it in the 70's . shooting Silver idoide into the clouds Number on It didint work # 2 there eventually will be some kind of athmospheric or chimical fall out over this, watch.

I hope they didn't put no stinkin MSG in dem der clouds :

I was trying to find a link, but I remember a while back hearing the US had tried to seed a hurricane.

If the report I saw was not a spoof, they did it on a hurricane that was weakening and offshore, not threat to land. The gist was after they did whatever they did to it, that the hurricane strengthened significantly, turned around, and ran into the US and caused significant damage.

Not sure if it is true or if it is your typical anti-government rhetoric but, given how little we really understand the weather pattern as a whole, it would not surprise me.

Ha....found something on it:

LOL, looking at Esther's path, IF it is true this could be the one they messed up:

I think the Chinese used dry ice (CO2) to seed the clouds so the rain would happen before the clouds got near the event.

I have it on good authority that the Chinese used a cloud seeding compound composed of Pickle Juice and Mexican Refried Beans.   :-/

All your chinese base are belong to us!!!
