1) Using sophisticated technology, a hurricane can be detected in its incipient stage and early warnings can be issued ------ modifier error
2) A hurricane can be detected in its incipient stage, using sophisticated technology, and early warnings can be issued ------ modifier error
3) In its incipient stage, a hurricane can be detected using sophisticated technology, and giving early warnings ------ awkward
4) Using sophisticated technology, meteorologists can detect a hurricane in its incipient stage and issue early warnings ---- properly uses modifier
5) Meteorologists, using sophisticated technology, are detecting a hurricane in its incipient stage and could issue early warnings ---- changes the intended meaning of the sentence
