LOS ANGELES - As torrential rains pelted wildfire-stripped hillsides and 
flooded highways in California, a team of scientists hunkered down at the 
California Institute of Technology to work on a "Frankenstorm'' scenario - a 
watery blast that could potentially sock the Golden State.

The hypothetical but plausible storm would be similar to the 1861-1862 
extreme floods that temporarily moved the state capital from Sacramento to 
San Francisco and forced the then-governor to attend his inauguration by 
rowboat.

Weather researchers say West Coast storms could get more frequent and severe 
with climate change. The new storm model "is much larger than anything in 
living memory,'' said project manager Dale Cox with the US Geological 
Survey.

In the scenario, the storm system forms in the Pacific and slams into the 
West Coast with hurricane-force winds, hitting Southern California the 
hardest. After more than a week of ferocious weather, the system stalls for 
a few days. Another storm brews offshore and this time pummels Northern 
California.

Such a storm could unleash as much as 8 feet of rain over three weeks in 
some areas, said research meteorologist Martin Ralph with the National 
Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, who is part of the project.

That dwarfs the latest Pacific storm system, a weeklong siege of storms that 
walloped California, dumping as much as a foot of rain in the mountains, 
flooding coasts and roads, and forcing evacuations.

Last fall, a team of federal, state and academic officials was formed to 
tackle what would happen if a series of powerful storms lashed at the state 
for 23 days. The scenario is expected to be completed this summer and will 
be used in a statewide disaster drill next year.

Ironically, the team had scheduled meetings at Caltech to discuss the 
fictional storm's impact to dams, sewage treatment plants, transportation, 
and the electrical grid. About a dozen members canceled due to the weather

*Makes some way serious validity to Hugo Chavez's claim, we the USA have 
"weather weapons".  Why do I say that......ah, I, it's "personal".
