NHC and various agencies have gotten tens of thousands of letters and e-mails and what not, every year, year after year, since 1945 suggesting the use of bombs (usually nuclear) to disrupt hurricanes.

Not like you're original.

I've noticed that people have trouble mentally processing what a complete joke even nuclear weapons are compared to large quakes, volcanoes, and hurricanes.

And biggest non-nuclear bombs in the world wouldn't have the slightest effect on any tropical system, in any pattern. They'd be 10,000 times less effect on one than trying to use a BB gun to bring down an elephant.

How's this for an analogy: It's like trying to use a match to disrupt the cooling cycle of an air conditioner. The power of the air cycling through the system is just too great. Besides, hurricans are a vital part of the system that helps balance the temperature distribution throughout the world. If we start messing with them (even if we could) there's no telling what effect it would have down the road. It would likely be far worse than what the MSM claims humans are doing to create global warming.

Not only that but, why would we want to try and alter nature to this extent? It's like forcing 75°F sunny weather out of nature for any place below the Canadian border for 365 days a year.

Hurricanes have always been and will always be and part of nature.
