Interesting, but it simply does not work. Heat feeds a storm.
SOMEONE SET UP US THE BOMB.
IB4TZ!
Huh?
Hey, I got an email from some Nigerian dude. I think I'll post that too...
Is this intended as a joke?
You know, I think this guy has about 500 million dollars in a bank in Switzerland that he'd be happy to share with you if you'd just give him your checking account number.

We're short of ideas that will work, but a hydrogen bomb would have unintended consequences....like radiation, loss of fish, etc. Plus the wind would blow radiation all over the world like Chernobyl.
Great idea. Let's try it out first on a typhoon in SE Asia.
Does it work on tornadoes and forest fires, too?
I've been here longer than you have, pal...
People still don't realize that nature completly dwarfs anything man can devise.
KGB Sleeper!
I dunno, an H-bomb could just make the storm bigger...but I really like the way this guy thinks!
LOL. Yeah I know the article borders on tin-foil lunacy, but I didn't want to post a vanity, so I tried to find a news article about bombs on hurricanes and this was the closest I got.
Well actually a fifty kiloton hydrogen bomb has a fireball about 35 miles across at about 100,000 degrees.
All the water in the clouds and for several feet down in the ocean would vaporize and turn to steam, radioactive steam I might add. And the radioactive steam would turn to RAIN, radioactive rain.
Simply stated I hope the writter says in whatever country he is in and never comes here. We have enough STUPID people here already, we call them liberals.
Well, then, let's just team up with nature and redirect a comet to crash into the hurricane and keep it from sending a deadly surge into the coastline ...
Hmmm, I've always wondered what would happen if you drop an H-Bomb into a hurricane. Actually it has been proposed back in the 1950's as some sort of weather manipulation or control. There was a Walt Disney "Wonderful World of Walt Disney" science cartoon that depicted such an idea where H-Bombs could be used to either obliterate or drive hurricanes away. It was done around 1955 or so where weather satellites and radar picked up a hurricane heading for the Carolinas and things go into action where they would launch an H-Bomb on a Tomahawk-like cruise missile into the hurricane. I think in reality, it would be tough to do this in the Gulf on Mexico, you have things like oil rigs and so on out there, it wouldn't be feasable. Still, I think the coolness factor would be is to take a Titan II 9 megger and dump it right into the eye. For added "craps and giggles" make a Tsar Bomba (57 megatons but the Soviets said it could do a 100) and do the same thing.
