Hurricane diversion.

I feel it's my duty to solve the hurricane problem once and forever.
Or at least to handwave in a general manner.

How hard is a hurricane to divert?
I assume that you'r not going to stop it dead unless you get rather
drastic, and either cool the seawater it's over, put a barrier film over
that water, or mechanically stop the rotation.
The first and third seem nearly magical, the second merely an engineering
nightmare.

Steering may be possible.
What if you significantly reduce insolation over one half of the hurricane?
Or would you need to cool the water in half of its track.

I see various numbers on the web for 3-5 billion a year damage to the US
economy from hurricanes.
