Read full article: Tropical Storm Eta races off Carolinas after soaking FloridaOne death in Florida was linked to the storm, along with some scattered flooding and forecasters said the tropical storm was on a path offshore of South Carolina that would eventually take it further out to sea. That came amid a combination of moisture from the Gulf of Mexico being carried up by a cold front that had pushed Eta across Florida earlier. Earlier Thursday, Eta was in the Gulf of Mexico when it slogged ashore near Cedar Key, Florida. Before that first brush with Florida, Eta first hit Nicaragua as a Category 4 hurricane and killed at least 120 people in Central America and Mexico, with scores more missing. A 29th named system, Tropical Storm Theta, was centered late Thursday about 440 miles (705 kilometers) south of the Azores and moving east.

It might seem tempting, if you havenโt really looked into the issue, to take matters into our own hands. Itโs 2018, where we can connect with anyone and everyone in just a matter of minutes through social media. Hereโs why not, according to Landsea: โThe main difficulty with using explosives to modify hurricanes is the amount of energy required.
