A man in Florida has suggested throwing ice at Hurricane Dorian to stop it in its tracks.
Tyler Vazquez of Florida Today posted the video of a Palm Bay resident disclosing his recommendations on how to tackle the storm.
He says the US military could combat it by throwing ice into the sea to cool down the warm water, which contributes to the formation of hurricanes.
He also suggests getting the airforce involved to blow winds in the opposite direction.

American rapper Ice-T has responded to the clip.
He said: “This guy is a Whitehouse adviser Right?”
It comes just days after Donald Trump suggested ‘nuking hurricanes’ to stop them hitting America.
According to US news website Axios, the president said in a meeting with top national security and homeland security officials about the threat of hurricanes:
“I got it. I got it. Why don’t we nuke them?”
“They start forming off the coast of Africa, as they’re moving across the Atlantic, we drop a bomb inside the eye of the hurricane and it disrupts it.
“Why can’t we do that?”

Our mission is to hold the powerful to account. It is vital that free media is allowed to exist to expose hypocrisy, corruption, wrongdoing and abuse of power. But we can't do it without you.
