Some hate tornadoes. Others make money from tornadoes.

Some hate tornadoes.  They want to destroy them.

Pictures of tornadoes show funnel-shaped or columnar clouds twisting across the earth.  Forces within the  powerful structures are similar to the whirlpools that appear over water drains as the water runs out.

If we poke our finger into such whirlpools, we find that they are delicate.  They will collapse.  Similarly, tornadoes are fragile.  If a military drone were to fire salvos of dry ice crystals into tornadoes, there would be a sudden drop of temperature that would disrupt the tornado’s   internal air flows.  When hit with the icy blast, the tornado would either be weakened or collapse.  Either way, those on the ground would benefit.

Others love tornadoes.  Others make money from tornadoes.

There is a reason that more tornadoes are not stopped.  Some people make money from tornadoes.  Tornado profiteers are willing to make big campaign contributions to ensure they can continue to profit from them.   They don’t care that, every year, more people will suffer, die, lose homes, animals, crops, and property to tornadoes.

Those who profit from tornadoes include builders, contractors, insurance companies, furniture stores, appliance providers, shingle makers, lumber cutters, sawyers,  sellers, and vehicle dealers.   They want to be sure there are hundreds of millions of dollars of property to be profitably replaced every year.

So, don’t expect to see military drones be allowed to fire salvos of dry ice crystals into tornadoes to weaken and destroy them.  It wouldn’t be good business for those whose love of profit trumps their love of neighbor.
