That was absolutely amazing! I have often wondered if we would ever try something like this. The sheer size and power of a hurricane, which itself is dwarfed by the earth, which itself is dwarfed by the solar system, which itself is dwarfed by the universe makes our God almighty indeed!
This was very interesting:
Quote:
Occasionally, somebody suggests detonating a nuclear weapon to shatter a storm.
Researchers say hurricanes would dwarf such measures. For example, Hurricane Rita measures about 3,500 miles (5,600 kilometers) in irregular circumference and 350 miles (560 kilometers) across.
According to the center for atmospheric research, the heat energy released by a hurricane equals 50 to 200 trillion watts or about the same amount of energy released by exploding a 10-megaton nuclear bomb every 20 minutes.
