It has come to mind that something may be able to be done about natural disasters, being things like earthquakes and tornadoes.

First i would like to speak about earthquakes. earthquakes are where the ground goes through realignment with the plates that adjust to feel more comfortable and relieve stress on them due to weight on them. they obviously go down into the ground, as that is where they fill the gaps and find a place for themselves.

This can be remedied by building divisions or walls or foundation style walls, between certain parts of the city and the rest. these should be like divisions in the foundations of a house, separating the earth for a mile or so under the earth. this will keep the pressure coming into the cities divided so as not to combine and compliment each other, dividing the areas that are affected.
 
To stop hurricanes, we need to merely send a current of wind out to meet it, seeing as how they are made of hot air, they could be cooled by hydrogen bombs, yes? these can be dropped into the maw of them, and then take the most out of it.
 
Of course, the earthquakes could use some more work, yes? this would be where we would use sewerage mains to have poles coming out of them, into the earth, cheaply and quickly being set up, with them interconnecting to divert the 'pressure.'

Don't you know how you always see certain like quad blocks of buildings falling? this is where it is most pressurized and if we were to be able to balance the pressure, the poles will redirect the vibrations to cover the whole network, of course.
 
i get where you're going with this but the cost of doing these things, particularly the earthquake one, would likely approach the cost of building a new city.

... which would be cheaper than building cities over and over? also, the cost of human life is said to be priceless, yes?

Have you ever heard of nuclear fallout? It's not good, yes? :roll:
 
Now for tsunamis. these are tidal waves that will wipe out a coast line, also common in japan. i really feel for people that are subjected to this rather often, so let's see what we can do about it?

If we were to observe that they have built a sea wall, what could slow the tsunami down even further is dropping bombs into it from aircraft. that will take most of the sting out of it, and then we could build a barrier in the ocean. this would be made easier with old oil rigs that we gather together 'in a row' and then cement into place.

Dropping cement into the ocean can be done easily, but that actually sounds like a lot of cement. instead, we could chain the old oil rigs together, and have them portable, and then erect a 'curtain' of something like wire fences to slow the tsunami down.

They can be portable and then drop anchor to stop the tsunami. i don't think the tsunami will destroy a chain of these oil rigs, but the cost of replacing them is far cheaper than building the beach front over again, yes?

I don't think hydrogen bombs create fall out.

THe current ones we have are triggered by a much smaller fission bomb. So, yes... yes they do. They also produce a very strong EMP that can wipe out a lot of electionics.

No, it would not accomplish this. Force will transmit through the foundations.

The digging required might actually cause earthquakes.

Y...you're suggesting that nuclear weapons make things cooler.

No. They make things hotter. Way hotter.
