Well maybe all the police and gun owners of florida can shoot the water away with guns since they nixed building pipes and ponds to deal with it.

12 0 ReplyOk, maybe I’m stupid for it, and I wouldn’t deploy one to do it for damn sure, but I can see why someone would think nuking a hurricane might work.
I don’t think we have ever made one that powerful, maybe tsar bomba, but I will admit I wondered if it would work when I first heard about it.
Besides, everyone knows that a hurricane's natural predator is a black magic marker

Mount Erebus and the entire Andean Volcanic Belt is in spitting distance of a penguin or two. Plus any under water volcanoes.
Also should we trust some who refuses to identify themselves

With the amount of heat released during a nuclear explosion, this might work. I think we need to do a test. It look like Miami is flooding right now.
