USAToday: Cold-war device used to cause Katrina?

Cold-war device used to cause Katrina?
IDAHO FALLS, Idaho (AP) — An Idaho weatherman says Japan's Yakuza mafia used a Russian-made electromagnetic generator to cause Hurricane Katrina in a bid to avenge itself for the Hiroshima atom bomb attack — and that this technology will soon be wielded again to hit another U.S. city.

Meteorologist Scott Stevens, a nine-year veteran of KPVI-TV in Pocatello, said he was struggling to forecast weather patterns starting in 1998 when he discovered the theory on the Internet. It's now detailed on Stevens' website, www.weatherwars.info, the Idaho Falls Post Register reported.

Stevens, who is among several people to offer alternative and generally discounted theories for the storm that flooded New Orleans, says a little-known oversight in physical laws makes it possible to create and control storms — especially if you're armed with the Cold War-era weapon said to have been made by the Russians in 1976. Stevens became convinced of the existence of the Russian device when he observed an unusual Montana cold front in 2004.

5. LOL
I had a relative who insisted the Russians were controlling the weather...thought he was nuts.

I see where he got it from now, still think it's nuts.

9. Call me genius or an idiot for saying this. We need to take this seriously
Edited on Tue Sep-20-05 11:35 PM by dhinojosa
but these kind of things should be looked into. Why? During WWII, we didn't believe that the Japanese could've sent baloons with bombs over to our country and have them explode. Years later, it was true, and we came to recognize something called the jetstream. We'd be stupid to ignore this, for our own security and the sake of knowledge and science.

10. Why I doubt this theory..
Simple. If the technology really existed, you can bet we'd own it and be using it and we'd see all kinds of deadly storms hitting countries we'd like to mess with.

Logical, you have to admit.

Assuming that is illogical.
