For those interested in the issues of potential "Weather Control" and alternative energy generation in the exotic areas this is all an area of related physics. This is very much related to the Zero Point Energy (ZPE) and to the issues of Tesla's energy theories. It gets very much into the area of how the whole universe works. It gets into stellar physics real fast.

For those not so schooled in the issues, a starter course would be to note that the Hurricane is boiling off millions of tons of water into the atmosphere and then essentially quick freezing it. In this condensation location it should be evolving all this heat into hot air but is actually extremely cold. In order for this cold to exist even for a moment under this rapid condensation (Heat recovery phase) it has to be pumping this energy off into space either as hot air (which it is not) or by electromagnetic means. The electromagnetic freeze "ray" is beaming the energy away fast. The amount here is equal the detonation of a 20 megaton Hydrogen bomb every few minutes. To strip the planet of this much heat this fast requires an ionic short circuit into deep space.

If this hasn't confused you, then you are well on your way to understanding hurricanes and similar storms. It also removes any doubt that there is plenty of energy around to be used. This is the fast trip into the wild and wooly side of physics that is not popular with the tired old heads that dominate the field. (Don't bother those guys they are mean and they don't take evidence well. This stuff upsets them a lot.) Curiously this also links up with the geologic side of the planet as well. Remember all energy transfers go two ways. Yes there is a relationship though it isn't well understood between the recent earthquakes and these storms. They are connected in the energy circulation on this planet and the stellar space surrounding earth.

I threw in this report to get the Alternative Energy guys juices flowing. There is lots of energy out there. We have no shortage. We just don't know how to use it right now. Nature is dropping us a hint. Imagine being able to tap into a small fraction of the energy flowing around this storm. Even an hour's energy for this storm would drive the USA for a long time.
