Thread: What will happen if a Nuclear Device was detonated in a Typhoon eyewall

Quote: Nature, always. After some googling, apparently the energy of a fully developed hurricane is equivalent to a 10MT bomb exploding every 20 minutes. So... yeah.

As long as it's done with a full-scale Tsar Bomba. Hrm. It's 2009. We should be able to do better than a 50+ year old design now, right? Make it so!

I'll orgasm is what will happen I so wanna see that man vs. nature, WHO WINS???

Not a damned thing. It would look cool as hell, though.

You get a radioactive typhoon.
