Yeah, we did have this kind of stuff a long time ago that could be used to reduce the effects of storms.
This is a potentially useful substance, especially in areas of the world were it just doesn't stop raining, like when it's monsoon season all year
long. But we have to be careful not to overuse it or abuse it, because we may severely affect the ecosystem, and that wouldn't be good.
The article mentions that all it does is absorb water and other stuff. I guess we could have the same effect if we just took loads of silica gel and
dumped it off planes, but I suppose that wouldn't ne to economically friendly...
If it's a major storm, like Isabel, I would imagine it's fun flying up in a middle of a storm.
