Hurricane Control - Interview with Hurricane Richard, Slayer of Hurricanes

June 14th, 2004, 10:00PM, Santa Barbara, California

Reporter: So, "Hurricane Richard" You claim to be able to affect hurricanes. That's a pretty large claim. What exactly do you claim to be able to accomplish?

Hurricane Richard: Well, first off Tomas, thank you for conducting this interview and giving me a platform and opportunity to explain and prove my claim that I can kill a hurricane or typhoon. Let me start by saying what I don’t do, and that is control a hurricane. I simply keep a hurricane from going out of control. To put it another way, and there are many ways to express it, I simply take the life force out of the hurricane and it dies.

Reporter: That's a pretty spectacular claim. Does it take a great deal of energy to kill or disrupt a hurricane?

Hurricane Richard: Not really. I see, or know, that a hurricane is made up of a weak force that gains momentum. This is evident in the fact that hurricanes do not start out at 160 knots, they build up slowly. This founding force, though not very strong, is quite vast and subject to influences of a psychic sort. Its these other forces that mold and push a hurricane to its full strength.

Take these forces away and the hurricane dies. or at the least plods along at about 60 to 70 knots . Taking these forces away is easy as far as effort goes, I can do it from right here on the sofa. It’s knowing how to do it, that’s the trick.

Reporter: Can anyone do this?

Hurricane Richard: Only if they know how and can see a hurricane for what it is.

Reporter: What do you mean: “See a hurricane for what it is?”

Hurricane Richard: Understand what it is that is driving the hurricane into such a destructive level. I’m sure you experienced the boogie man growing up. It’s that destructive energy all around us that, as a child you were still sensitive enough to personify into the boogie man. That energy is the driving force behind a hurricane is....billions and billions of boogie men raising hell, literally. That energy represents the most extreme end of physical negativity on the planet and they organize around a hurricane and whip it into ferocity. If one “boogie man” slammed into you at 60 mph you would not feel a thing... if 1000 boogie men hit you, you would feel a push and some wind. Multiply by a zillion and add nature and you got a hurricane.

Reporter: So what is it you do, counter act these forces?

Hurricane Richard: Think of it like this... when water goes down a drain it swirls at certain speed. The laws of physics, you know. If you add your finger to help swirl faster it will... not naturally, but it swirls faster. I believe a hurricane is not “natural” past 73 mph sustained winds (tropical storm level) on open ocean. I scatter the chaotic forces building the storm back into darkness and the hurricane simply goes away. If I tell you much more than that we’ll have unauthorized hurricane destroyer’s popping up all over!

It’s hardly any effort, only time about 20 minutes to set up to kill hurricane. About the same time as it takes to drink a cold ballena.

Reporter: When did you slay your last hurricane?

Hurricane Richard: Funny you should ask cause I’m working on a big one right now, typhoon Dianmu off the coast of Guam. Its supposed to get to 165 knots in a few days. Today is Monday, June 14th and I started working on this guy about 8:30 PDT. You should see a drop in as little as 18 to 34 hours and a certain decline in 36 hrs.

Reporter: How many hurricanes have you killed?

Hurricane Richard: So far, 8 and Dianmu will be my ninth.

Reporter: Well, that’s positive thinking, assuming that you will be able to slay Dianmu. How did you learn this hurricane destruction?

Hurricane Richard: Ah, now you catching on!

We had to interrupt our interview with Hurricane Richard at his request. Richard indicated he felt the need to focus more attention on the energies building in the South Pacific with Typhoon Dianmu. We resumed the interview 24 hours later.

The next day...
Before we continue I would like to point out that today is the 15 June 2004 at 11:30 pm. I interrupted my interview with you to concentrate on typhoon Dianmu off the coast of Guam and heading toward Iwa Jima and the Korean coast. My efforts are taking longer than I thought, it's a big storm. I am having an effect in disrupting the eastern flow into Dianmu. I can now also see the eye and this helps a lot too. I need to work on the south side and south east side a bit on the up draft into the main body. We should see results by noon tomorrow. Alas, the storm has grown but factors that will keep it together have been eliminated and instead of a 72 hr time period before the storm starts to drop.... but... by 10:00 PM on the 16th the storm Dianmu will start to dissipate rapidly.

Perhaps it would be best to wait and see before I go further with this interview. I would not want to waste your time and it has surprised me, how much attention has been required by this storm. It is certainly a fighter, if that would be the right way to put it and my energy level is a bit down. So is my beer, for that matter.

Hurricane Richard: I have time to answer one more question, but let me ask it. You readers should know, “How long have I been able to do this?”

You see, I had started out with Psychic Boat Repair in La Paz. But the concept never really took hold. Even when I threw in the free service of "lost items - psychically found" as a bonus it didn't attract the kind of following I had expected. I've been a student of the psychic and paranormal for years. Even when I produced comedy shows it's part psychic, convincing your audience your funny I guess.

It's like this, I never studied the concept in any form or even thought that anything like it was possible until I went through hurricane Marty in Marina de La Paz in September 22 2003. The eye was a big clue. Although I didn’t realize it at the time, but things began to click and become obvious to me and I experimented on 2 storms, hurricanes, brewing at the same time and I had some success. These being last year’s Nora and Olaf. I found another tropical storm forming near Acapulco and killed it as well....or so I was reluctant to believe.

I still wasn’t totally convinced, that I was the cause and effect. Then the storm season ended in the Pacific and I was forced to look elsewhere. I found one, no two, in the Atlantic and three more somewhere, else I forget, probably the Indian Ocean. I was still skeptical, I still am sort of. But I was a bit more, no a lot more convinced, that I was killing these storms. Aside from some local stuff, I’ve been waiting for a storm like Dianmu, to really test out my stuff. The early season is sort of like training camp for me. Pump a few sets of tropical storms in the equatorial regions and slap around a few severe thunderstorms in the mid-west, you know, get in shape. (patting the mid-rife accumulation point of a cervesa or two) So, here we are and I’m watching the results just like you are.

Reporter: I’m sure there are select members of the government who would like to chat with you!

Hurricane Richard: Maybe, but I bet the insurance companies are the first in line!

Reporter: Do you intend to profit from your ability to destroy hurricanes, or are you just in this for the glory?

Hurricane Richard: Now, I have also considered the implications of my work. Do I give up the secret to the good of man or do I get greedy? The answer is, I get a bit greedy, but I think in a good way. In the future I will be happy to explain my justification to gain something for my knowledge, of how to kill a hurricane. But, for now it is a secret that I have shared with just a handful of trusted friends. If anything were to happen to me this secret will still be in the world.

So stay tuned, if there is anything to my claims, typhoon Dainmu should be my smoking gun.

Our thanks to Hurricane Richard. Richard is a part time resident of La Paz and an artisan in glass work. Richard’s glass creations and jewelry can be seen every weekend in Santa Barbara at the beach front art fair and on the wrists of many friends here in Baja.
We will continue to follow the works of Hurricane Richard as our own hurricane season approaches. And all of us will be counting on him to prevent another season like the last, here in Baja Sur. We here at the LosCabosInsider will also keep score for Richard to help add credence to his claims.
