Cold currents don't carry Hurricanes. You need warm tropical climates and warm currents

In the Pacific they are called typhoons, not hurricanes. Region-specific term, like champagne or bourbon, or kobi beef.

Never thought I'd see the day where people are asking for life threatening weather to stop another form of life threatening weather.

That'd be one horrible nightmare. Just the water, please, we're already well-stocked on wind.

No, that'd be how you set fire to the rain.

I just want some coastal air back.. it's so close and the wind's going the wrong way

I'd kill to have just a little air blowing. 90s with 1mph wind does not set well with my special snowflake aversion to weather.

Shut your whore mouth. We have enough problems with landslides and dam failures. Let it burn, a lot is dead anyway from the beetles.

The forest service has been allowing people to harvest beetle kill for a few years now. But yeah, we're over due for some bad fires

I'm also in Arizona and not having those potentially lethal weathers suits me just fine.

Speak for yourself. I don't have hurricane or flood insurance. Plus, anything over 35% humidity is uncomfortable.

I've never seen rain put out a fire of any considerable size tbh.

Ya ima isn't heavy in rain fall its mostly high winds so it would escalate the problem. Harvey was tremendous amount of water lower wind.

Perhaps mixing in some oil would increase the heat dissipation.

A direct hit could potentially do it with the shear amount of rainfall.

Except it's more wind then rain so it'll just spread the fire. Type 2 wildland firefighter experience.

I think you may be underestimating the amount of rain that falls during a serious hurricane. (Impossible but) If Irma "spawned" on top 1/2

8 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

Of the area in question I would think it would extinguish most if not all of the flames. 2/2
