Two odd hurricane-related stories caught my eye this past week. One was about an inventor thinking big.
His idea is that we could knock a hurricane's intensity down by a category or two. He says we should research using a fleet of jumbo jets to dump some kind of sponge-like stuff into one section of an approaching storm.
The sudden and massive absorption of moisture, that theory goes, could so disrupt that wedge of the storm that it would cause enough disorganization to knock the entire hurricane's circulation a bit out of whack.
I usually laugh off such stuff. But this time, I thought: Who knows?
