Comments on: Meteorologists call for better storm tech
The supercomputers used to model storms have improved greatly--but they're still less accurate than they should be, experts say.

Hurricanes develop because the cooler air above the water allows the swirling to begin, and then to intensify. If the air were warmer by a relatively small amount, the swirling effect could be reduced.
Put money into researching a process to warm air that could be applied to areas that are in the earliest stages of forming tropical storms. An increase of just a few degrees has the potential of restraining storms from developing into hurricanes.
Seriously, combatting mother nature is never a smart venture. Money would be better spent in modelling the evacuation plan. We have battlefield models for war efforts, it is nearly the same thing. You need to move out residents, move supplies and medics into a safe area close enough to the danger zone, and mobilize construction materials.
We should also consider floating mesh cellular networks...like a cell tower built into an airship like the Goodyear blimp and have the ability to move them in quickly.

- It would be nice to have more data, but the money should be spent more wisely.
