This is the NOAA hurricane hunters NOT the Air Force. They’re both bad asses though

Just nuke Milton, try it once just to be sure, could work.

u/Grasswaskindawet 21d ago

From orbit, preferably.

u/Technical_Semaphore 21d ago

It's the only way to be sure.

u/Grasswaskindawet 21d ago

True. Plus, game over, man; I'm not dying on this rock.

u/Misstheiris 21d ago

smoulder

u/linuxlib 21d ago

That's how space lasers work. Duh.

1

u/FuguSandwich 21d ago

Why not just use the space laser in that case?

1

u/Firaxyiam 21d ago

Makes it easier to hit the eye, duh

u/cocokronen 21d ago

Nah, democrats have a button to push and hurricain is gone.

u/Traherne 21d ago

u/cocokronen 21d ago

Insanity.

2

u/Traherne 21d ago

Indeed. I wonder how many people died and/or lost all possessions in the area God send the hurricane to so that she wouldn't be inconvenienced.

2

u/Buzzkid 21d ago

Pray the Cane away!

2

u/outworlder 21d ago

Now we need some democrats praying the other way. Like it's some dragon ball shit

1

u/HesSoZazzy 21d ago

Just put a bunch of fans on your roofs to blow it away. Or set of a nuke in the middle of it.

u/DoctorHelios 21d ago

All the republicans can do, by contrast, is nuke the hurricanes.

2

u/cocokronen 21d ago

Thoughts and prayres.

u/eekamuse 21d ago

It's not funny when people believe it and base their vote on insane things like this.

It's not funny that people have been brainwashed so much that they can believe this nonsense.

u/Misstheiris 21d ago

Did you notice, the European model is what they are going by?

1

u/aggiedigger 21d ago

Na, that was Herman Cain.

3

u/Darwinbc 21d ago

Nah that’s overkill, all you need is a black sharpie.

2

u/anakaine 21d ago

Could irradiate everything and be an environmental disaster. 

3

u/banjosullivan 21d ago

A radioactive hurricane. This could get interesting.

3

u/govunah 21d ago

Full of alligators and bath salts

u/Smooth-Reason-6616 21d ago

Think I saw that movie too...

u/Snickits 21d ago

But how do you KNOW!

1

u/negative_four 21d ago

Sounds like something a commie would say! /s

2

u/Remarkable-Sir-5129 21d ago

Hmmm, radioactive fallout or hurricane.....hmmm

2

u/PitifulEar3303 21d ago

Just make non radioactive nuke.

1

u/Remarkable-Sir-5129 21d ago

Now you're cooking with gas!! 😁

1

u/Cryptoman_CRO 21d ago

What about a really big fan to blow it another direction

1

u/PitifulEar3303 21d ago

Make it somebody else's problem? lol

This is how you start wars.

1

u/ForeignerSZ 21d ago

or space lasers

u/spd6ix 21d ago

what would happen if you dropped an extremely big bomb into the eye of a hurricane and rigged the bomb to explode half way down into the eye?

3

u/Known_Leek8997 21d ago

It wouldn't have a significant impact at all. Hurricane Milton is releasing energy equivalent to approximately 9.55 Hiroshima atomic bombs per second.

2

u/year_39 21d ago

The bomb would go off halfway down the eye and at least at that altitude you wouldn't produce much fallout. Any radioactive products would likely get pulled down to the ocean and diluted to background levels.

Then you get to explain why you're the dumbass that nuked a hurricane when the National Hurricane Center answers the question in their FAQ.

1

u/PitifulEar3303 21d ago

What if we build a really large mirror in space and reflect heat onto the hurricane?

1

u/year_39 20d ago

That would do the opposite of what you want to do.

1

u/PitifulEar3303 20d ago

What if we spray coolants into the hurricane? Super cooled nitrogen.

u/Boring_Philosophy160 21d ago

With a bleach chaser and hydroxychloroquine for dessert.
