Interesting trivia: Santa Catarina Island (also known as the Magic 
Island) has only ever been hit with one hurricane in all of recorded
history. Just as well, as I sat out a tropical storm there and that
was pretty terrifying.  

(Ontario is almost as lucky but sometimes hurricanes don't quite get used
up on Americans)

I wonder how long it would take to discover steering bad weather away 
has undesirable secondary effects along the lines of what happens if
you stop all forest fires long enough for deep piles of kindling to
pile up.
