Can a nuclear bomb stop a hurricane?

No, it cannot.

From Tampa Bay Times. 

National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration says the question comes up so often that they wrote an explanation about it.

Why won't it work?

Guess.

Come on, be a sport, guess.

Guess, I said.

Guess!

An atom bomb doesn't produce enough energy. It would simply create a radioactive storm.

So that's that. Subject closed.

But, but, but, but, butbutbutbutbut.

If you attempted to offset a hurricane's energy, most of the effort would go to reducing its cloud fields and little would change its wind speed.

The idea is a gross underestimation of how powerful the storms are to anything that can be thrown at tin

Then what about four bombs?

What about lasers?

What about more lasers?

What about zapping them in the beginning with a multitude of coordinated lasers to totally mess up the patterns with heat? Huh?

The article goes on to list previous proposals. So it's not just you thinking this.

The whole list of ideas were shot down by scientists who got busy with calculations.




One time a friend of mine who grows wheat in Nebraska told me a story when I mentioned my coordinated super lasers idea.

He said this is top secret.

So this will be just between us. Okay?  Don't tell anybody.

He sited a previous rain storm that occurred over several days and flooded a very large part of the nation crossing several states and causing billions in damage and ruined lives.

It all started with the government seeding rain clouds with silver iodide. I think. A lot of it. They were up there shoving it out of cargo planes in great quantities and they created a flood so massive so destructive that they never even considered it again.

I was sitting there thinking, "Man, you Nebraskan wheat farmer types sure do have good imaginations."

And he read my thoughts and said, "It happened, Man. It happened! The government caused a very serious flood."

So that made me think that very large lasers in large numbers and coordinated could heat the air so intensely, like ZAP, and disrupt the early storm patterns so they go spinning off harmlessly.
