It’s about time we try the mother of all fuel air bombs right down the eye of the hurricane when they’re in the Mid-Atlantic that way no one’s going to complain.

Except when it doesn’t work.

We discussed that scenario in my meteorology class, when there were people suggesting using nukes.

Our prof told us that powerful as nukes are, they are a fraction of the amount of energy produced by a hurricane. All dropping a nuke in it would do is very effectively spread the radioactivity.

“all fuel air bombs”

LOL

Years and years ago some congressional representative suggested that we drop A-Bombs in the eyes of hurricanes and that would stop them! He was about as bright as Hank Johnson!

ROFL

In order to match the energetic power of a hurricane, there would need to be almost 2,000 “Little Boys” dropped per hour as long as the hurricane remained a hurricane.
