"During each hurricane season, there always appear suggestions that one should simply use nuclear weapons to try and destroy the storms."

*SIGH* That's just your answer to everything!

I won't even ask how you got to this site.

No, that's my answer to everything. Even if it didn't destroy the hurricane, it'd still be sweet. Just think of the satellite photos you could download, GL...

My goodness. That's a frequently asked question of NOAA? Are they offering wi-fi access on all the short buses now?

B is right, however - the satellite photos would be fantastic, though most might not see them.

B,
Have a look at "100 Suns". Most of the photos lack scale, but they're beautiful in the way the center of a burning furnace is beautiful.

Some before-n-after sat shots of nukular destruction would be pretty damned cool. Let's get on that.
