Uh, depending on how controversial this is, it may belong in D&D. I don't expect anyone to take it seriously though, so... Thursday, September 8, 2005 Weatherman Claims Japanese Mafia Behind Hurricane Katrina POCATELLO, Idaho (Wireless Flash) – Here’s a theory that’s sure to cause a storm of controversy: A meteorologist in Pocatello, Idaho, claims Japanese gangsters known as the Yakuza caused Hurricane Katrina. Scott Stevens says after looking at NASA satellite photos of the hurricane, he’s is convinced it was caused by electromagnetic generators from ground-based microwave transmitters. The generators emit a soundwave between three and 30 megahertz and Stevens claims the Russians invented the storm-creating technology back in 1976 and sold it to others in the late 1980s. Stevens says the clouds formed by the generators are different than normal clouds and are able to appear out of nowhere and says Katrina had many rotation points that are unusual for hurricanes. At least ten nations and organizations possess the technology but Stevens suspects the Japanese Yakuza created Katrina in order to make a fortune in the futures market and to get even with the U.S. for the 1945 bombing of Hiroshima. Stevens will discuss the storm creation theory tomorrow night (Sep. 9) on an internet radio show at www.thesciencedetective.com (Contact numbers available only to subscribing media or trial media users.

Althoug unlikely... not impossible. The U.S. likes to believe in controlled the rain over the trail in vietnam.
Doesn't seem like it's too tough to create a soundwave generator, so what did the Russian's reportedly sell? If there's something unique about the process and they want it protected, they would have to patent it. Doesn't appear like that occurred. What would keep the Yakuza from selling it to others? Seems like there would be more money in selling 'storm generators' to farmers in drought areas than to evil Dr. Nos. I must be procrastinating to be spending time on this....
