Would you, then, agree that the people of Brazil fabricated the first hurricane that ever hit their coast?

Pick up any text book on hurricanes and it will tell you that the one place where hurricanes do not occur is the South Atlantic Ocean. The atmosphere does not provide enough spin near the surface to get them started and winds higher in the atmosphere tend to shear off any that do make a start. Hence, it was with some amazement that meteorologists watched the first ever recorded hurricane develop off the coast of Brazil in the last week of March.

No hurricanes had ever been reported in the South Atlantic. So Brazilian meteorologists didn't know what to make of the unusual storm packing hurricane-force winds as it swept toward their shores in March 2004. Warnings were issued in time to prevent all but one death, but hundreds of homes were destroyed.
Since at the time this storm completely contradicted ALL mathematical models of Atlantic storms, it must have been everyone's imagination that the storm existed at all.
Is anybody but people who dedicate their lives to science see how hilarious YOU are for thinking that basing our models on math and empirical evidence rather than blind math is hilarious?
