Meteorologist Scott Stevens, the 9-year veteran of KPVI-TV in Pocatello, Idaho has got it all wrong. (Wednesday article “Katrina was man-made, weatherman claims”). It wasn’t the Japanese Yakuza Mafia using a Russian-made electromagnetic generator that caused Hurricane Katrina to wreak havoc on the Gulf coast. It was the Pocatello Booster Club trying to jam electronically a pay-for-view telecast of the popular movie “Napoleon Dynamite.”
That is to say, it was not the atomic bombing of Hiroshima that was being avenged, but the image problem for all of Idaho caused by the film. Unfortunately the jamming device itself jammed when Pedro was elected president, hence sending the wrong signal to the wrong place at the wrong time.
Stevens claims that he began to connect the dots when he observed an odd cold front in Montana in 2004. “I got sick to my stomach because these clouds were unnatural and that meant they had (the generator) on all the time.”
While Stevens’ bosses do not endorse his theory – they compare it with personally held political or religious beliefs -they claim he knows his weather whether or not he believes what he’s saying on the job.
