Yeah...My vote goes with Reba. Leave mother nature alone and let it take its course. In the meantime, improve on building codes and 'Hurricane Proofing' those prone areas...I know Florida has made a lot of improvements, but a lot more needs to be done.
I do know of some experiments that have been done, such as seeding clouds in areas of severe drought. Particles are released into the air that cause water vapor to condense....making a cloud. This cloud will either peter out or become a rain storm.
The problem with mother nature is if we screw something up...it happens globally and there may be no turning back. I'm trying to remember the story of a place that had some sort of bug problem (think it was in austrailia)..so then the brought in some sort of frog to eat all of the bugs...then the place became overrun with frogs...and there is no turning back LOL. Our ecosystem is very fragile and should be handled carefully.
Another example that comes to mind is forest fires. Forest fires are a natural event that 'clean' the landscape. We spent decades preventing forest fires and what happened? The landscape became over-run with old brush...then when a fire occured, there was so much fuel that it became a catastrophic fire. We've since learned that brush fires are a good thing.
