Essentially, you are creating a wall that doesn't have to be impervious, but stops the energy feeding the storm/tornado/weather system. Correct?

Re: Nevermind. I don't know why I even bothered.
In order to form, a tornado needs both a cold, rainy downdraft and a warm updraft. To stop a tornado from forming, just heat this cold downdraft until it's cold no longer.

OR you throw a shit load of superabsorbent polymers or SAP's in the tornado.

They absorb all the water and the water will start to heat up because of the friction between air and other absorbed polymers resulting in a heating of the updraft.

But probably the downdraft is a lot more influential in this scenario so indeed, heating the cold downdraft would be a much wiser choice.

HAARP should be able to do this.

Drop napalm in the downdraft and ignite it?

Shit, i don't know.

right but it would have to be ignited before the ground like inside or above the vortex to stop the flow....it would also have to be one of those incandescent(sic)bombs they use to kinda show off a bunch of flames

YES OP, great idea, let's keep tampering with weather, spray some more stuff in the sky.

Tornados spring up instantly, sometimes with very little real warning...

Furthermore, people in this latest path are about to die right now. I would like to stop it from happening but I can't. This used to be a fun place to share thoughts. Now it's nothing more than a bunch of ignorant assholes. I won't make that mistake again.

Yes, the easier AND smarter idea would be to get the fuck out of weathers way and stop living in areas that have been destroyed previously throughout years by the weather.

It's like playing with death...

Good luck folks. Hope you're not in Oklahoma right now.

Where's the original quote? I'm looking at stopping tornados and this is where Google brought me.

Here's what i've been thinking:
- the hot air is being created, largely, from parking lots and roadways that use black asphalt
- most places hit hardest are flat lands
- these cities/towns/states need to erect 'walls' that would interrupt the winds enough to either keep tornados from happening at all or deflect them in their travels.

Watching dust devils in Arizona suddenly form and go whizzing past showed me how these little tornados run - hitting objects and swirling them up, hitting bushes taller than them and getting 'caught' for a moment before they moved on, etc. A lot can be seen in dust devils, which can be pretty tall - over 10 feet. Our vehicle was hit by one and it rocked us as we drove.

So instead of trying to second guess Nature, try intervening. Maybe a set of walls (in some configuration of materials) set at odd intervals and angles, such as they do for noise control, throughout a town. Would provide some shade, i.e. temperature change, too.

Yes! Engineers and architects who create buildings that can withstand earthquakes PLUS people with a lot of materials experience and civic engineering - put this together like today! it's going to be a long hot summer.
