I just found Eddie on the toilet seat, jiggling the handle. This can't end well. How many flushes does it take before the cat gets bored?

Bear in mind I have not thought this through

Wouldn't a large low pressure zone tend to attract hurricanes? And wouldn't blocking sunlight over a large region tend to create a low pressure zone? Or am I envisioning this incorrectly?

Let me think out loud a bit myself.

Bear in mind that we want to move hurricanes, not create them. I thought that a large low pressure zone was part of how hurricanes are created.

Blocking the sunlight over a large region (and I don't know how large a region you'd need to block, mind you) would create a cold air mass. I think whether a low pressure zone results depends on the temperature of the other nearby air masses. So that would be a constraint on where you could move the hurricane.
