the proper follow-up question to this is, should we really use it if it works? hmmm... i know for sure the insurance companies will say a resounding YES!
There is much destruction associated with a hurricane but I think that messing wiht the Mother like that may have even worst side effects. Fla has a hard enough time with the water tables as it is, if you took away the rain provided by a hurricane it may really reak havoc on our drinking water.



Just my opinion.
