Just got bak online after the hurricane down here in south florida. It was a mess, no cable, power outages, curfews, no stores open. 1 week of craziness. Anyone here in south florida knows. Glad to be back online.

Natural disasters are a part of nature since time began, but you cant help but wonder if these disasters arent in some part induced by mankind messing with the environment.
Glad that you made it back online and are safe and well, did you suffer much personal damage in the storm?, no way my house would survive one of those hurricanes.

I wouldnt put it past some countries to be trying to develop weapons that mimic a natural disaster just like in the movies.

I doubt that any country would even toy with that idea....too many are concerned with big weapons...not mimicing nature...but that's jsut my opinion.

if a nuclear bomb can be made. Why that idea can't?

Ussually a science research made for the humanity causes/aim, then some bad people/institution(like terorist or something) use it in a wrong purpose. And.... here there are big-dangerous-deadly weapon exist.... threats more human life

Oooohh, i really hate those terorist.

Nothing is off limit when it comes to developing weapons of destruction, think of all the horrible biological weapons they try and develop.

And there’s a lot of irresponsibility in it. Just before testing the H-bomb, physicist were not yet sure that the Earth’s atmosphere would blow up or not after detonation.
Fortunately it didn’t blow up, but that was a very risky try and error method to find out: just imagine 99.9% of the living organisms vanishing at a push of a button...

They are related. If we mess up the environment, the environment will mess up us...
