Weather Control?

One of the theories that I have heard kicked around was that the government has a way to control the weather. First let me say that the words that are chosen are used on purpose. Of course no one can CONTROL the weather. The idea is ludicrous and it makes people who even examine the issue look like we are kooks. However there is mounting evidence that the government can INFLUENCE the weather. Consider the facts:

1. Hurricane Katrina suddenly became powerful within a short period of time preventing Mayor Nagin from evacuating people from New Orleans as he had planned. Saying that the Mayor was negligent or planned poorly is just stupid. He knew what he had to do and had the school buses ready. The problem was that he didn't get to use the buses because they were "suddenly" flooded. Hmmmm?

2. Eye witnesses report that levees were blown up at the exact moment when it would have done the most harm to the city. The greatest amount of damage was done in heavily black neighborhoods where the storm seemed to go directly to. Hmmmm?

3. Katrina was a category 2 storm that became a category 5 storm faster than any hurricane in the history of weather. No scientists can explain it. Hmmmm?

4. Hurrican Gustav was heading toward Louisiana when it suddenly weakened and did little damage. It made landfall the same day that the Republicans announced that Sarah Palin's daughter was pregnant. It gave them enough time to redirect the media's attention and to the storm. It also made the Republican Governor look good since not as many people were killed. Hmmmm?

5. Hurricane Hanna was on a similar track to hit during the Republican convention and it suddenly weakened and slowed down. Hmmmm?

People who just ignore the evidence are fooling themselves.
