Jeez, what a response.
True but do you know how big the US is? Not to mention rogue elements and the constant threat or worry of 'terrorists' taking control of the silo?

I fail to see why each town in the alley couldnt be equiped with an armoured silo for launching a tornado busting missile.
Agree. Unfortunately in a less than ideal world, everything is politicized...atleast it seems that way these days in the US.

I suppose the threat of terrorism is going to be a concern for the rest of time, if we are to continue to focus upon it as much as we do as a species. However, in terms of coverage, one silo could cover a vast area of responsibility, and if the technique were to be even eighty percent as effective as I think it could be, then it would save masses of lives, and billions of dollars in property damage, every year more than likely.
It would be a terrible shame if mankind found the arrow that would peirce at the heart of this problem, only to have it taken from his hand by his own foolishness.
Due to the horrendous toll that tornado's inflict on civilian and animal population's...is there a technology available from other advanced civilizations, that live on other star systems in our universe, that have the capability of diffusing tornadic funnel rotation?
