That means that a storm 100 mile across drops 7 billion tons of water on the ground for every 12 inches of rain. Hurricane Frances dropped 12 inches of rain over central Florida in 24 hours. To absorb that same amount of water would require nearly 2 million tons of this material.
Yes, but all this guy needs is a lucky break.
He drops a little Dyno-Crap into the storm just before it's forecast to experience shear or whatever weakening forces. Dyno-Crap falls. Storm weakens on its own. Tada! He will claim credit for the winding down and unfortunately, the dumber components of the media and the public will eat that up.
Then we'll have conspiracy theorists saying the government has known all about this technique for years and is just trying to punish Southerners/gays/Floridians/DisneyWorld/you-name-the-sin/insurance companies or is helping the construction worker mafia.

Such fun.
