Today Two Years Ago in Crazy
posted by on December 7 at 14:22 PM
From USA Today:
An Idaho weatherman says Japan’s Yakuza mafia used a Russian-made electromagnetic generator to cause Hurricane Katrina in a bid to avenge itself for the Hiroshima atom bomb attack — and that this technology will soon be wielded again to hit another U.S. city.
Um…what?
Meteorologist Scott Stevens, a nine-year veteran of KPVI-TV in Pocatello, said he was struggling to forecast weather patterns starting in 1998 when he discovered the theory on the Internet. It’s now detailed on Stevens’ website, www.weatherwars.info, the Idaho Falls Post Register reported.Stevens, who is among several people to offer alternative and generally discounted theories for the storm that flooded New Orleans, says a little-known oversight in physical laws makes it possible to create and control storms — especially if you’re armed with the Cold War-era weapon said to have been made by the Russians in 1976. Stevens became convinced of the existence of the Russian device when he observed an unusual Montana cold front in 2004.
Makes perfect sense to me.
(Note: Title changed because the story is actually from 2005, which pretty much makes this whole post pointless. But since it’s up and has comments already, I’ll just leave it.)
makes me glad Seattle's TV stations have serious meteorologists. i'm totally serial
This sounds like something Walter Kelley would come up with while his face was buried in a pile of strong cocaine.
And he probably wonders why he's stuck in Pocatello, ID.
Why is this post labeled "Today in Crazy" when the linked story is from September 2005?
Everyone know Katrina was because of the gays. Afterall it happened over Labor Day Weekend.
@4: Somehow I missed that. I'll amend the post. Thanks.
My dad used to say, half-seriously, that "the Russians" had big fans out on the Kamchutka Peninsula to drive bad weather to the USA, back in the 1960's.
Always some kind of "Oriental peril" in some people's minds...
Hey, someone else has seen Walter Kelly doing blow besides me!!! COOL!!!
Hey, makes as much sense as saying it was "an act of god".
You've done blow with Kelly?
I can top that. I blew Colabro.
I didn't learn THAT in forecasting school.
I much prefer the "angry God Hypothesis" for weather disasters.
yes, this also makes sense as to why weathermen (not scientists) should be calling the shots about global warming.
I love that there's an "oversight in physical laws". So, God created the universe, but failed to debug his program fully before executing.
