another hurricane

category 5 wilma is coming. According to a 77-year-old former Navy Physicist, elements of the military had the capability to stop this sort of thing 40 years ago: Former Vet "Made it Rain" During Vietnam War how much of a stretch is it to assume they could create this sort of thing now? or possibly, that last hurricane that was supposed to be really terrible WAS slowed down by this technology. Maybe BOTH happened. Some elements (e.g. wanting reason for martial law) created the hurricane, while humanitarian elements stopped it (not necessarily knowing about the former).
