What are the chances we grew enough anti-bodies after the hurricanes of the last couple of years to have achieved some level of immunization against storms this year?

Frankly, they are non-existent, but that’s what I thought this morning when I saw the headline “Tropical Storm Chris Falls Apart.” But what if it were possible?

I think I’ve heard Holly Lisle say magic is what we call it when we don’t understand the science behind things. What if the atmospheric changes rendered by last year’s hyper-active hurricane season resulted in conditions not conducive for hurricanes? The hurricane experts who are predicting a horrible season this year don’t yet understand the science behind this, so, of course, they aren’t in a position to accurately predict or explain the phenomenon. How long would these atmospheric conditions last?

Could we generate a man-made innoculation which could be achieved without the death, destruction, and expense of an actual storm season like last year’s? Think of it as the polio vaccine for weather. Would we have to have a March of Umbrellas or a March of Plywood like we had the March of Dimes to help fund the eradication of polio? (Think how amazing that was — we wiped polio from the face of the earth (for all practical purposes) and have been able to change the focus of the March of Dimes from an effort to find a cure or prevention for polio to curing/preventing other childhood diseases — I think premature birth is the current focus.)

Innoculating the weather. Magic? Or science we don’t yet comprehend? Write it or research it. Go ahead. Challenge yourself.
