There could be a replenishing or beneficial aspect of hurricanes on land. By depriving a particular region of an occasional hurricane, we might unknowingly be setting up an ecological disaster.
Just like how we worked hard to prevent wildfires and then realized that wildfires have a rejuvenating and positive effect on forests and the local environment.
Now tornadoes. That seems like the mosquito of storms. It doesn't seem to serve any purpose. Wouldn't mind if we got rid of or could direct tornadoes to save lives and resources.
