Of course this is one more attempt of the left to say Trump is a dumbass but the idea of doing something to disrupt hurricanes has been around forever. Just like the Greenland thing. Presidents since Harry Truman have been looking into buying Greenland to keep Chinese and Russian influences out of the strategic landmass.

But Trump says something about it and the keyboard warriors in their mom's basement who don't know history past 2016 act all incredulous on twitter over it.

What? Do you have a problem with some redneck hurling suitcase nukes out of his trailer window all willy-nilly like? You think you can do better from your two-story brick home? It's not even mobile!

I suspect it's been studied already.

Hell, they studied using them to make road cuts through the Rockies for the interstates.

However, the systems are too damned big for it to work.

Screw nuking it. How do we harness it?

Or it could just be an OT joke like most threads and you should learn to have a sense of humor.

I like Trump too but learn to laugh.

Center of a strong hurricane eye is extremely low pressure.

Thought process is by blowing up a nuke, it would raise the pressure in the eye and the storm would fall apart.

I have my doubts as to the accuracy of the article re the presidents statements.


Well he told people that the noise from windmills causes cancer so is that far off to think he might say we could stop a hurricane with a nuke?

Always though a large bomb might have sealed the hole from the deep water horizon disaster, though not a nuke.

Sending nuclear radiation up into the atmosphere during a hurricane sounds like such an amazing awesome idea

Yea, let's spread radioactive fallout all over a few hundred miles. Idiot idea.

Scientists would need to go back to the lab and try to develop a radiation free or low radiation nuclear device but produce a blast in the Megatons.
