The Gulf Of Mexico will do it in 50 years as sea levels go up world wide and the ice melts in the poles. Waterworld as envisioned by Kevin Costner will becoeme a far too real nightmare for every one in coastal areas in the U.S. At least here in Florida we got 90 floor condos and marinas we can convert into the Atlantis of the South East. Beach front property for all in the South Florida, Manhattan Island & New York, and the first 10 miles of the Gulf Coast (the U.S.-Mexico border even too).

Hurricanes are very much like Tornados. They are both spiral shaped patterns that swirl around a miniature black hole. The interesting thing about them is that they are controllable, but I know not many people would believe that. I feel like I have a probable solution and a cause hypothetically worked out--I just need some experiments to prove my theorem. If I do, they could be a thing of the past. I have been in both tornados and hurricanes.

No affence mate but there is no way that a human being can control mother nature, honestly mate you cant do anything about it, just be ready and go somewhere safe, or do stand in front of it and either pray or yell at it to go away? its mother nature man not a robot storm!

"a mccain supporter would say something that fuckin ignorant. you sir are scum"

Wake up. That is NOT a McCain supporter. It's obviously someone trying to smear thier name or make a sick and twisted joke, just like people on the web claiming to support Obama so blacks and/or Muslims can take over and kill whitey.
