Hurricane Ivan Drago

Florida keeps getting smacked around by hurricanes. Normally i would like this, since it would teach florida a lesson for being such a state of suck, but then I began to look at the bigger picture, and one issue started to bother me:
Hurricanes have been around for centuries. How come we, the most technologically advanced society, have no way to fight them? Even Japan had ways to fight off Godzilla. Why does the U.S. NOT have a whole army of beasts in storage, filled with rage, angry, hungry and ready to fight? You are telling me there is no warehouse somewhere deep underground, or in the attic of a government building where we can hold a giant ape, or a lizard-robot that we can send to kick the crap of Hurricane Floyd, then eat his face...and then his families....? What the fuck are they spending our tax dollars on anyway?!
