Anyone know whether we can use this to simulate hurricanes/floods in particular areas, instead of looking at real existing data and helping model an existing hurricane as it's happening? (which is definitely more important and impactful, but the simulation angle is the one I happen to be curious about at the moment).

Like if I wanted to simulate whether something like Hurricane Melissa would've gone through a handful of southern US states, what would the effect have been, from an insurance or resiliency standpoint.

That's not really what a weather model "does."
