- Would dropping a nuclear bomb on a hurricane stop it from forming or hitting the United States?
After hearing the suggestion through our comments, and echoed on many corners of the internet - Storm Shield meteorologist Jason Meyers looks at the science behind nuclear bombing a hurricane.
Nuking a hurricane - would it really work to control the weather?

preventing a disaster by starting a completely different one , brilliant
*What if we use a Vacuum to suck in the huracaine plz make a video about it!!*
How about we take the hurricane and push it somewhere else
Freshly Poured Lean that idea might be dumb enough, TO GET US ALL KILLED!
Freshly Poured Lean No, Patrick
no lean. hurricanes are not a musical instrument.
I suggest we put it on the moon
Just sprinkle a little crack cocaine on it
Now you have a radioactive hurricane coming.
I know of at least one incident in which a large blast collided with a tropical cyclone. Mount Pinatubo erupted back in the early 1990s, and the most powerful part of the eruption coincided with a typhoon that had wandered into the area. I don't recall what happened to the typhoon, but the ground result was a ton of muddy lahars- water/Ash/rock flows that bury places deep in dirt.
The typhoon's name was Yunya, it turns out, and it was already getting weaker due to wind shear when it ran into the eruption. The thing turned into a tropical storm by the time Pinatubo chucked the proverbial shit into the proverbial fan. Yunya apparently turned North and kept weakening.
or you could just drop a Nokia 3310 in it and break the hurricane
Nate Jackson that would cause a black hole you madman
+Freshly Poured Lean EXACTLY
Nate Jackson the world would be able to destroy the sun
+Sam Sam by dropping a Nokia 3310 on the sun yes
Nate Jackson IKR if u drop a 3310 there won't be a universe
Great opportunity to test the effects of the fuel air bomb otherwise known as M.O.A.B. which is none nuclear but has the same blast radius. Also bigger nukes have less radiation because the radioactive particles leaves the atmosphere.
I bet you're really excited to see this video getting new hits today. 🤦♂️
Nuclear bombs are more destructive to cities, so i can't see the comparison, nor do i think making a teenage mutant ninja turtle creating hurricane is a good idea either.
Not only is it bad to nuke a hurricane, but hurricanes are a vital part of the ecosystem. Taking them all out with any means would spell disaster for earth.
+Peter Newport It is to keep grammar nazis from correcting my grammar lol xD.
Peta for hurricane's we can't killz da hurricane's that's anal*mole crueltyz!!
Keaton0801 well we could stop most of them by not using HARP to make them
ak15 ar47 indeed
Keaton0801 yep
LIGHTENING BALLS!!!!! - how are they happen?¿
Check it: th-cam.com/video/gV1kN0jFdMw/w-d-xo.html
Awesome! Thanks!
try to stop a tornado with a grenade it will throw the grenade back at you or somebody else.
I can't believe what I just read.. I would be happy if they could just predict when and where a tornado was going to hit.. Not to mention how fast they move.. Too unpredictable.
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! aaaaaaaaaaaaaa!
Okay. I'm not hip to the skip on the science of this subject. This is just an idea, what if we used non nuclear weapons (atomic bombs)? Or used liquid nitrogen?
*EDIT*
Liquid nitrogen "freeze bomb". Supposing we made reasonable size bombs. Which is theoritcaly possible simply by mixing it with dynamite.
Another thing is that trying to nuke a hurricane could make things worse. Not only that, it will completely destroy the whole world! ☢️🗺️😱
U.S : Let's nuke a hurricane
North Korea : CRAP THEY ARE TESTING NUKES GUYS GET READY TO FIRE
what happens when a tornado and a hurricane collide
hurricanes often contain tornados
0 content yea like hurricane Harvey right now
ThugLifeManning Waterspouts are tornadoes.
A hurricane is basically a huge tornado hunnyyy
Hurricanes usually spawn tornados....
You are so cool!!! Love your presentations!
Why not have fighter jets in a horizontal formation to disrupt a hurricane with a barrage of sonic booms.
David Perry That would work if we could shape the aircraft to make a Sonic boom loud enough to drastically increase air pressure, but by then the hurricane hunters 100 miles away would lose their ears XD.
Russians have done that for years to control the weather over Moscow. And yes it works.
YES10 no, they used chemicals to freeze the water. Airports around the world have been doing it for years, not just russians.
Call Rainbow Dash
I think the moral of the story is we cant stop mother nature
What if someone dropped an anti-matter bomb in a hurricane.
What if you positioned x3 walls in a trident manner, about the half length of hurricane beginning from the edge of the eye wall (yes it would be massive), and rotated it against the rotation of the hurricane (and followed centered as it moved), would that work like a wind brake?
how do you build a wall thousands of miles long and hundreds of miles high in a few days as a hurricane is coming?
Me liking this videos. Thanking you! :)
What if we just sacrifice a big of person into the middle of the storm
NERDcolepsy sacrifice will stronger the stormmmmmmmmm
He'll die
That's one of dumbest things I've ever heard!!!!!!!!!!!
like... YO MAMA XDDD
What would happen if hurricane hit Houston again!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (Edit) HOLY FUCK! I got so many likes! Can I get that many subs. Hehehehehhehehe
JUSTORYplayzz it would probably rain
alot
Sadly we might find out if Irma gets to there.
Snarlie *Yes*
Megatom Irma Is coming to where I am in south Carolina
No, it wont hit South Carolina unless it suddenly changes route.
Thanks Rob
A awesum video you create bro
You now have a radioactive hurricane getting ready to stomp you into the ground. Congratulations, you played yourself.
Love your video. Great graphics..You are so funny.
So my question is..
If there was a tornado and a hurricane that collide will it be worse then a hurricane and a tropical storm? besides the damage the tornado will cause i mean the flooding an which will affect the aread more if they colide?
Are we not going to say anything about how he wrote 200 Trillion as "200,000,000,000" aka 200 Billion lol
Laial Murtada to make it look like manier
actually no.
you're thinking of non-English languages.
million - billion - trillion. it's English.
Looks like 200 billion to me, man. It's math. The dude does not abide
Laial Murtada 🌊⚡🌀🔥🌪🌫🌤⛇
No 🌊🌈🌀⚡
This may sound crazy but in 1970 we had hurricane Celia. I was living in Corpus Christi at the time.
The wind blows about 40 miles per hour there most of the time and if the wind get up to 70~90 miles per hour that wouldn't be much different.
I remember the company let us go home at 12:00 noon. I drove down Ocean Drive to my cousin's house to ride out the storm. I remember seeing some white caps on the water but nothing looked any different than any other day. The weather department said it would hit about 4:00PM.
I also heard on the AM radio that the weather department was going to drop silver iodide crystals in the storm in hopes to make it rain out or kill the hurricane.
Between 12:00 to 4:30 all hell broke out. The wind gust got up to 160 MPH. It blew the water tower down in Portland, TX and blew the weather equipment at one of the refinery. Their last reading was 165 mph.
Not another word was said about the weather bureau trying to kill that storm. About 10 years later when I moved to Houston I talked to another ham radio operator that lived in Corpus at that time and heard the same story. Since then I have heard another person verifying the same thing.
D Hansel that was probably going to be a bad hurricane either way...
in other words. hurricane don't care about your little firecracker. hurricane laugh.
But over the sea there is no fallout, as there is no dirt
how did the equetor don't have any tornadoes
What would happen to the rotation of a storm (hurricane, cyclone, typhoon) if it started in one hemisphere and moved into another. Would it stay the same or would it change direction?
Its nearly impossible for cyclones to cross the equator without destroying themselves, however likely would rotate clockwise instead of counter clockwise
What if you used a group of fighters to disrupt a hurricane with a barrage of sonic booms
You're missing some zeros at 1:13. Your figure shows 200 billion, not 200 trillion.
Beautiful.
Lol you're editing is funny...
What would happen if a Hurricane/Typhoon/Cyclone collided with a Tornado, *TELL MEH PLZZ I NEED 2 KNOWW*
How about dropping a nuke in an F5 tornado, still in open country, but HEADING towards a major city!
"When everything else fails... NUKE IT!!"
"It didnt work..."
"Well.... fuck..."
Why don't we just drop a whole lotta ice cubes into the eye of a Hurricane?
could you cloud seed them.?
the first thing i've thinked of it when i've seen the name of the video
"This ain't Going Well"
Do a video that is Harricane vs earthquakes vs tornado
0:48 did u just diss my man Michelangelo
What Will happen if every type of weather got mixed together?
america
A Gamer That Engineers lol
SUPERSTORM
a politician forms
If you freeze a tornado can you please make a video about it
This showed up in my recommended vids and I actually thought about this during Matthew, prepare for a simple way explaining what will happen, if a nuke was detonated in the eye of it the hurricane would be blown to pieces by the force from the blast, but the down side is it will fill the clouds with radioactive dust and then that would become a serious problem, not only that but that would probably screw up part of Earth's orbit due to the nuke being detonated so high up.
Jarred42501 dude, the nuke wouldn't be detonated on top of a hurricane... it would be detonated in the eye of it. How do you expect it to hit clouds??
imagine... a radioactive-cane! :O
what about tornado and lightning strike Make video of that pls!!
Can a hurricane be at a katagory 5 and fall to a tropical depression and then go backup to a catagory 5
I think the idea more relies on the shock of the explosion disrupting the eye wall and perhaps destroying the Hurricane that way. Also the intense heat of the nuclear explosion would reverse the flow of heat from the ocean to the upper levels of the hurricane, until the the temperature in the area equalized, further disrupting the hurricane.
I'm not saying that it's a great idea, because of the fall out. I not 100% sure but I think the idea was dismissed off hand not considering how much damage things like the pressure wave, blast wave and incredible heat a multi megaton nuclear weapon would give off and how those things would effect the hurricane and the way it normally functions.
This may be a stupid question, but what if a funnel cloud reaches a water surface instead of land? Does it still form a tornado or does it affect the possible tornadoes longevity??
Called a water spout
Tornadic super cell water spout
XD This video is the best
just get the whole world blowing opposite of the hurricanes spin, obviously
A couple of gigatons would do it.
Pretty handily too, I think. The instantaneous overpressure wave generated by an explosion of that size would severely disrupt the hurricanes internal structure.
It wouldnt stop it but it would be bloody fascinating to do
what happens if a hurricane touches the equator?
more videos me like it alot .thaaaaanks
Answer: the hurricane winds would just throw the nuke out of it and possibly land in a populated area or land in the ocean
We're talking about someone that has the power to shoot nukes. I know a little about nukes, the idea is insane. It would not stop a hurricane it would just make things worse with fallout. if you knew about nukes you would know this is a completely insane idea. It's like saying I'll put out a fire with ethanol.
doos itt halve two bee gramaticali inn correct?
can a ef1 tornado comebine with a ef 5 tornado and can a tornado comebine with a hurricane
Like shooting a highly radio-active B-B at a freight train.
1:13 "200,000,000,000" is 200 BILLION
Make a star to stop the hurricane
Can you make can you make a video about can you stop a hurricane under it and how does it look
how do you mak a storm
Who's here after Trump said he was going to nuke a hurricane?
not me
dang bruh he really said that?
That's one TOXIC hurricane.
How about we build a giant space shield to cast a shadow over the hurricane in order to allow it to cool and dissipate it's heat energy more quickly? How big would such a shield have to be - and how effective might such a method be?
use a gaint fan to bow it a way ....
Hands down, the best solution yet!
its the only idea thats even slightly logical, even if it is a retarded idea
what about blocking the wind from spinning somehow or build something under the ocean to stop it.
i know this a werid question but can a hurricane destroy a island or the fujiwhara
Nope, radiation would spread in the air and in the water.
Yes he literally said that in like the first 30 seconds of the video
PelicanGuy Its actually be better to let the hurricane just do its thing. The amount of nukes that you have to drop to stop it would cause so much fallout and because it's happening in a hurricane is gonna spread everywhere leaving radioactive fallout for decades.
in other words, nukes are never helpful
*unless the US needs them to "shush" Mexico*
Would change of water temperature effect the hurricane?
I have a idea we push the hurricane some where else.
EDT:thx this is a skit of sponge bob
What happened if you put a dry is out here to be honest about it now that it is not clear to me it would have been better to be able because of the fact they have been used for the first place to make a difference and the article is very very
thanks fir humor with science
Can we send the hurricane love?? Because we all know love is like a hurricane
Yes, and when it's over your house and your car are away. ^^
tsunami vs hurricane what is the stronger please make a video
Who would win in a fight between a tropical storm and a massive tornado?
tropical storm for sure
i know this has nothing to do with hurricanes but it does with tsunami how do you ruin a tsunami? pleas make a video about that
Making a huge floating platform about 10-15miles in diameter and then putting it in the path of the hurricane. It should atleast reduce the category
Can a tornado spawn in a hurricane and how
What About Huge Dry Ice Bombs
It would take an entire fleet of the largest airplanes and a few million tons of dry ice to make any reasonable difference in the water temperature. Consider also that some of these large hurricanes cover hundreds of miles in diameter and there is no way to drop enough of anything to affect the water temperature.
@@khman1983 What about liquid nitrogen bombs? Supposing we can make them a reasonable size. They're fairly simple to make by mixing with dynamite, so theoretically it can be done.
What is a tornado insade
Why are people obsessed with bombing tornados? Tornados form because of hot air trying to rise through cold air while being wrapped up by strong wings, if anything bombs would make it worse via the heat they would generate.
To solve the problem the temperature in the area needs to be equalized (to stop the rising of hot air and sinking of cold air) or create a large enough distortion in the torado to allow all the hot air to rise without generating more heat in the process. Wind is a result same process that makes tornadoes (hot and cold air), but when a strong air current gets caught up in the process, a tornado forms. That's how I see it at least
If Tornado and Hurricane Collided
We need some giant turbine/kite attached to a motor that can steal the energy of the hurricane and produce electricity!
I know this sounds really silly but do you think later in the future,we'll be able to absorb a hurricane?
no
Love science!
Whats ifs a hurricane is hit with a large lazer?
When tornados collide
Can a hurricane be big as the Earth? Please make a video about it!!!!
What would happen if a tornado and hurricane hit each other
Hurricanes can create tornadoes lol
idk why but one thing i know is there is a forces or nature game go play it before you to late!
I have an idea. How about liquid nitrogen? What if they release liquid nitrogen by putting some sort of a release mechanism that releases tons of liquid nitrogen right in to the center of the eye of the hurricane? liquid nitrogen is extremely cold. Would this be a way to make a hurricane weaker?
talk about "eye drops" lol
Hurricanes nuked : it gets hurricanes go away
What would happen if Jose hit same places Irma hit??! Would everyone die??
But what if the nuclear bombs used was like the two most biggest bombs exploded in history:Castle Bravo and the Tsar Bomba? pls make a video about it!!!!
Better plan.
1) build houses that can withstand hurricanes.
2) build hurricane hotels across the country. These buildings can be used for conventions when there are no hurricanes to maintain their condition. Scatter them accross the country, yes even in main. If we scatter the refugees its easier to make sure they are well taken care of, and it wont clog up traffic this way.
3) Evacuate the premises making sure that everybody gets transportation out of the hurricane zones. Treat it like its the next hurricane Katrina.
4) Wait it out, watch it on the news, and return home.
5) have some structurally sound buildings designed as hurricane shelters in the hurricane zones, to catch the morons who choose to stay behind.
note: we should also have temporary shelters for pets, that way the owners don't have to abandon. They can just pick them up when the hurricane is over, safe and sound. :3
With the more structurally sound buildings we will have minimal damage. With the mandatory evacuations we will have minimum lives lost. And scattering it across the country ensures we don't put too much burden in one area of the country. Instead we can scatter them across the country.
the first actually reasonable solution to this issue ive seen in the comment section so far! bravo!
