What do you think? I think it's effective.

Murag way epekto.

Ug isa pa, perteng mahala sa nuclear bomb.

Murag naka basa nako ug existing topic ani diri kapoy lang pangita hehehe.

[lowel]

mas grabeh pa ang epekto sa nuclear weapon.....

[Ghadz]

mahimong epektibo pero how about the after effect sa environment.

[trabiz]

I think it wont work.. instead it will make the situation worse

"The main difficulty with using explosives to modify hurricanes is the amount of energy required," - Landsea

Here's her explanation:

A hurricane gets its energy from warm ocean water, and in the process of water vapor condensing into rain droplets. The heat released during condensation serves to continue to warm the surrounding air, which causes more seawater to evaporate, condense, and continue the cycle.

A fully developed hurricane releases 50 or more terawatts of heat energy at any given moment, only about 1 percent of which is converted into wind. The heat release, Landsea wrote, "is equivalent to a 10-megaton nuclear bomb exploding every 20 minutes." The entire human race in 2011 used about a third of the energy present in an average hurricane.

So bombing a hurricane might be about as effective as trying to stop a speeding Buick with a feather.

There's also the possibility that bombing the hurricane, if it had any effect at all, would just add to the storm's heat supply, making it even stronger.

Why not, then, just nuke tropical depressions before they have a chance to become hurricanes? Partly it's a numbers game, Landsea explained. "About 80 of these disturbances form every year in the Atlantic basin, but only about 5 become hurricanes in a typical year. There is no way to tell in advance which ones will develop." That, and a tropical disturbance is already a pretty powerful beast. If it were just 10 percent as powerful as a full-blown hurricane, it'd still take a huge effort to nip it in the bud.

Finally, whether the bomb would have a minor positive effect, a negative effect, or none at all on the storm's convection cycle, one thing is for sure: It would create a radioactive hurricane, which would be even worse than a normal one. The fallout would ride Trade Winds to land — arguably a worse outcome than a landfalling hurricane.

after effect ani...will be worse...

epektibo kaha ni, mao guru kitai permi maigo...

Again, dili ni sya epektibo na pa agi and will never will be a good solution sa pag stop sa any typhoon or hurricane. Catastrophic events such as this is caused by nature, they are here since the beginning of time. So for me, typhoon and hurricane is nature's way on reminding us to better take good care of our planet, or else this things could get worse.
