Well maybe all the police and gun owners of florida can shoot the water away with guns since they nixed building pipes and ponds to deal with it.
The only thing that can stop a bad guy with a climate is a good guy with a gun.
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?

So we need at least 10,001?
Somebody bring me some duct tape and hold my beer.
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
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.
