There are many theoretical explanations for the mitigation of tornado s , storm s , and hurricane s and one or two known simulation models that address the reduction of the intensities of these forces. We introduce an innovative methodology that releases e nvironmentally friendly aerosol particles responsible for cloud condensation and weaken s the intensities of these forces. For the past nine years , we did several experiments and analyzed the results. Experimental results give evidence to this methodology is practical, environment - friendly, cost-effective, and consistent. In this paper , we described our experiments along with results in three different scenarios such as tornado (March 2021, Georgia USA), storm Claudette (June 2021, Georgia USA), and hurricane Elsa (July 2021, Florida USA). Our experimental outcome and subsequent relevant meteorology data support the reason for mitigating the intensity of these destructive forces in and around the experiment locations.
