An event asking people to shoot flamethrowers at the hurricane explained its logic: 鈥淪hoot Flamethrowers at Hurricane Irma to unbalance the hot and cold air and disrupt the forces causing it to spin. Bet this will work. We must work together to rid this hurricane from earth.鈥�
Another event, with 29,000 interested and 8,000 going, asked people to shoot 鈥淜amehamehas鈥� at the storm. However, a commented noted they were thwarted in their attempts: 鈥淚rma used instant transmission and teleported to the west coast and dodged our kamyhamyhas!鈥�
A smaller event, with just over 100 going and interested, urged attendees to shoot beyblades at hurricane Irma.
