Military Attacking Hurricanes?

I'm still not sure what this Simpsons bit from 2007 was all about-- key bit starts at 1:45 in:

 

Maybe it's just a goofy joke, but the Simpsons has long been tapped into certain trends in the intel/military/conspiracy world.

I originally thought this bit indicated military control of the weather, but it could also indicate the military being mobilized to combat climate change and dangerous weather-- which is why I'm thinking of this now.

I have no idea what the Jason figure symbolizes, if anything. Could be a joke or some new super-human enemy we don't know yet.
