Hurricanes Helene and Milton made the 2024 North Atlantic hurricane season a particularly destructive one. Helene and Milton made landfall at a politically sensitive time, with the high-tension US presidential election only a month after Milton struck Florida’s west coast. Against that backdrop, some commentators speculated that the hurricanes were…
So on one hand, I don’t believe for a second that these hurricanes had any kind of man made cause (other than climate change) but on the other hand, I almost expect certain militaries to have these kinds of capabilities.
I’m talking about secret military weapons, not using nukes. I understand the amount of energy necessary to stop them, I’m picturing something that can either seed or amplify them.
I sometimes go down the rabbit hole of crazy military weapons and past projects. I can’t imagine the amount of money they have dumped into all kinds of weather control weapons.
It’s like the Jewish space laser thing. Clearly MTG is a crack pot mixing fear and antisemitism to flirt with her base, but what are the chances the military doesn’t have lasers up there? The government that was doing mass surveillance on the whole country shies away from adding a laser or two to their spy satellites or using natural disasters as a weapon?
Best way to amplify a hurricane is to pump in more heat energy. The link I posted mentioned the amount of energy already in a storm (10 Mt worth of a nuclear bomb every 20 mins) , so to get a 1% increase in damage, that’s still a huge amount of energy that being silently put in somewhere. Into a storm that you still can’t direct to a particular place, since that’s the entire weather system steering it.
I get your point, the military is going to have stuff that the public isn’t aware of until years from now, just like before. But there’s also physics and limits to even what would look magic to us right now.
I think lasers were looked at and aren’t as practical as movies would lead you to think, especially through an atmosphere at distance. Now perhaps that’s what the military wants us to think while they have a bunch standing by, but somehow they keep scientists who work with laser daily quiet about the capabilities, even pretending there are limits in non-military uses.

Physics shows us the energy required just can’t be generated by man. All the nukes in the world won’t stop one hurricane.
