Do you think this would work?Follow

When they spot a hurricane out in the South Atlantic perhaps a Tactical Nuclear weapon, detonated in the eye of the hurricane or near it's wall would stop it. Of course there is the spreading of all that fallout. Then maybe a HUGE conventional detonation would do it. You of course would need a Proximity fuse on the weapon since it would have to detonate at a certain elevatio

detonating a weapon involving radioactive materials inside a high level atmospheric dispersal system such as a hurricane is what would be considered a VERY BAD THING. For starters, we don't know what it would do. Hurricanes are formed because of pressure and temperature differences within the atmosphere and ocean. Inducing a massive overpressure wave and high temperature change, even if it did destabilize one storm, could very well lead to conditions for an even larger storm to form immidiatly afterwards. Even a conventional explosive, assuming we could find one big enough, would be probably more of a risk than anything else.

They dropped it into a hurricane? Do you remember the n.c. code name for the test by any chance?

Huh, very interesting. And that was with one whole fission stage removed. I'd hate to see that thing at full capacity.

We could just nuke southern florida instead, then nobody would live there and we wouldn't have to hear them ***** about hurricanes every year.

Y would we have nukes. I mean they are WMD's and since we are so staunch on the idea of noone having them then wouldn't it be hippocritcal to have them ourselves.

i thought you'd finished with your "opening the jar" problem

your'e damn right i'm making up my own doubleentendres

Ask yourself this. would you rather the U.S. with all the nukes... or France with all the nukes.

Can't have a man made Natural Disaster...it wouldn't be so "natural" if it was manafactured.
