The gravitational pull is strong of mother earth, but the solution is to create a power so great that it will overcome. It doesn't sound realistic because it hasn't been done, but if the time, money and man power was pumped into it, it's very possible.
With the hadron collider in EU, if they can learn how to manipulate and control the black holes they are creating, which is still a long ways out, that's the most simple and effective solution right there. Shoot the hole into the center of the hurricane, and pack up and go home boys. War is over.
