Oh my God. They're going to nuke the hurricane.


Don't be stupid, this isn't the thread for that.

They're clearly going to get as many planes as possible to fly clockwise inside the hurricane to undo the rotation, or at least weaken it. It's really tricky doing this because they have to stop at just the right time, or else you're left with a typhoon instead.

South Florida is now in the cone. Remember, exact landfall is not yet known. But Florida should prepare. I'll explain the steering and timing factors for this storm on ABC World News Tonight with David Muir -- impacts this weekend!

Can't wait for Levi's update. I want to hear what he has to say about this storm.

Actually you'd have to fly counter clockwise since a plane pushes wind behind it. So you'd want to fly the direction the hurricane rotates, but faster than the hurricane winds, to put back pressure on it
