While fluctuations in intensity are expected, Milton is forecast to remain an extremely dangerous hurricane, perhaps the fourth most powerful hurricane ever observed in the Atlantic. From cloud seeding and dry ice to giant funnels and lasers, scientists have tried to find a ways to stop or deviate hurricanes since the 1940s. But nothing has effectively worked.
