"Over my 35 years as a meteorologist I have received calls & handwritten letters from people proposing this. I gently try to explain to them that according to @NASA a hurricane can expend as much energy as 10,000 nuclear bombs during its life cycle. Futile and obviously dangerous," John Morales, a chief meteorologist at NBC 6 in Miami, tweeted.
Ryan Maue, another meteorologist, agreed about the idea's ineffectiveness.
"Detonating a nuclear bomb inside a hurricane would do nothing to disrupt the storm," he said. "Instead, you now have a radioactive hurricane."
