Hurricane Experiments

Does anyone know if there has ever been experimentation done with hurricanes along the lines of electricity generation? Looking at facts and figures about the shear destructive power of the winds associated with hurricanes and the fact that we've tried weakening them, despite possible environmental side effects, that maybe harnessing the energy associated with them would be good food for thought. I know it's not an easy problem and most equipment is destroyed in the most severe hurricanes, but we put a shuttle through the atmosphere, I'm sure someone could come up with something to try, at the very least. Maybe something like this has already been done? Thanks for sharing my curiosity.
