Actually it is very funny someone should mention this. The government DID
have a department designed to stop hurricanes, called Project Stormfury.
They were using airplanes equipped with certain chemicals (silver iodide?)
to help reduce the winds of a hurricane.

How come no one heard of them? Not surprisingly they tried and while it
looked like it worked, it turned out that the hurricanes would have reduced
their winds naturally. It ran from 1962 to 1983 so about 20 years of tax
dollars went into it.
