Well I just opened a huge can of worms...sorry

The dynagel reference is sort of a running board joke, but since I brought it up, I better explain...

From the NHC FAQ pages click on "C5". Dynagel was thought to be a substance which, if dropped on a hurricane, could reduce it's strength. More of an urban legend than anything else. Sort of like the silver iodide experiments of the 60's & 70's.

I'm sorry I brought it up, but if you require additional explanation, send me a PM and I can tell you the history of the "dynagel joke."

Cheers all,

LI Phil
