Could you stop a tornado or hurricane with a bomb?

[Gizmo j]

Could a bomb disrupt the wind pattern or something?

No

I guess given a big enough bomb you could disrupt any system. You'd need a big fucking bomb to affect any change on a hurricane though! Big enough that there wouldn't be much left to protect from the hurricane. Theres a lot of energy in a big storm.

Edit: More energy than I thought! https://science.howstuffworks.com/environmental/energy/energy-hurricane-volcano-earthquake1.htm

A whirlygig could redirect a bomb though.

Only if you 3D printed it.

Trump suggests nuking a hurricane — here's what would happen ...

Hurricanes are extremely powerful: A fully developed hurricane releases the same amount of energy as the explosion of a 10-megaton nuke every 20 minutes, the NOAA article says.

Man, can you imagine being in that meeting and having to explain to the thin skinned idiot why his idea was a bad one?

Yeah, in the right spot, a nuke would disrupt a tornado, IMO. Others have given the answer on hurricanes.

I'd prefer to imagine a Von Stauffenberg being there.

You would have to imagine it given that it didn't actually happen.

I'll ask all of your Mom's at once.

Done.



Hey, does that earn me a Nobel? Bobo got one for less.

A tornado, a hurricane, and a volcano walked into a bar....wait, those are all drinks....wait an atomic bomb is a drink too. Are you sure this thread isn't about alcohol....if not, can it be?

Remember the last time NOAA contradicted Trump?

so what if we just drop a 11 megaton nuke every 19 minutes? wouldnt that work?

 

[Mai72]

What if I dropped a megaton fart?

 

[IronWing]

What if I duct taped a butterfly to the nuke? Ironwing 1, hurricane 0.

 

[zinfamous]

I have an uncle whose snoring once redirected a hurricane.
