Maybe they can nuke the floods away.
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
Random dude on the Internet thinking "hey, maybe..." That's fine. But the president should not be getting his ideas from Sharknado movies.
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.
/s because its' 2024 and sarcasm is dead
I will admit there is a morbidly curious part of me that wonders what could happen if we add energy to a hurricane.
It’s called global warming. lol 😭
There was a documentary.
"Sharknado"
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.
Do we have a buttsharpies here yet?

How much could penguins know about volcanos?
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
/s
So we need at least 10,001?
Somebody bring me some duct tape and hold my beer.
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.
