https://www.mediaite.com/tv/watch-florida-man-goes-viral-for-his-absolutely-hilarious-plan-to-fight-hurricanes/With Hurricane Dorian approaching, lets check in on Florida Man and see if he has any ideas on how to combat the powerful storm.
I cant see how they havent come up with some kind of way to combat these storms yet, said Florida Man in a video posted by Florida Today reporter Tyler Vazquez. They keep saying, two days ago, three days ago, Oh its gonna hit all this warm weather. All this warm weather and warm water.
We have a Navy. Why dont the Navy come and drop ice in the warm water so it cant get going as fast as its going? Theres gotta be ways to combat this instead of just point at the thing and saying, Well, now its getting worse! Yeah, we know its getting worse!
The Navy is not the only branch of the Armed Forces that the unidentified Florida Man would like to see get involved.
You tell us, Oh, its the warm weather. Oh, its the wind. Well, we have an Air Force, said Florida Man speaking in a heavy New England accent. Drive some Air Force planes around and get the winds going the opposite way. Get the Navy to in circles to fight it the other way.

(58,785 posts)The man loves the idea of steam power. Aircraft carriers could use steam-powered aircraft catapults to throw ice into the hurricanes, or maybe to just douse them with steam hoses like the greatest "I alone can do it" phallic fantasy ever.

No wonder there are flat-earthers. Astounding ignorance which will live forever in the ether.

I think that they decided that would do significant damage to the ocean.
