"As I'm sitting here stuck on a Brightline train because of flooding in my district, all those stormwater projects he cut look pretty stupid right now," a Florida lawmaker said.

    Ok, 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

          You might be surprised

          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

        So we need at least 10,001?

        Somebody bring me some duct tape and hold my beer.

      It wouldn’t work (I should have added /s); it would introduce new problems, not to mention the issue of radiation poisoning.

      Sharpies, though, solve all problems.

      Even the Tsar Bomba is a little candle in the wind in comparison with a Hurricane.

      All you would get would be a radioactive Hurricane.

        So, you’re saying we need to build a much, much bigger bomb.

          I will admit there is a morbidly curious part of me that wonders what could happen if we add energy to a hurricane.

      Random dude on the Internet thinking “hey, maybe…” That’s fine. But the president should not be getting his ideas from Sharknado movies.
