Can a tornado be destroyed or "put out" by introducing into it's vortex a cold 
or warm patch of air? Could it perhaps be put out by firing a rocket of sorts 
into it's base thus causing an added heat wave, possibly disturbing the chaotic 
balance of cold and warmth inside the tornado? Has this ever been tested? Every 
year countless lives and property are destroyed in tornado outbursts, instead 
of just researching tornados, why can they not also research a way to stop them?
