Hurricanes Helene and Milton made the 2024 North Atlantic hurricane season a particularly destructive one. Helene and Milton made landfall at a politically sensitive time, with the high-tension US presidential election only a month after Milton struck Florida’s west coast. Against that backdrop, some commentators speculated that the hurricanes were…
Not saying this would be realistic, but it’s hard to believe a tsar Bomba sized detonation in the eye of a hurricane wouldn’t do something to destabilize the storm.
That said it boggles the mind to consider the system energy of a large storm.
Edit also I’m just fucking around. I said in the first comment that a the system energy is boggling.
As more foolery, I don’t think we really know the atmospheric stability impact of a 100MT detonation. I armchair believe it isn’t just a linear power output issue.

Wouldn’t do shit.

They say tsar at 50. I want that bad boy at the original planned 100.
“A fully developed hurricane releases the same amount of energy as the explosion of a 10-megaton nuke every 20 minutes”
So Tsar at planned 100 is equivalent to 3 hours 20 minutes worth of hurricane energy.
Wouldn’t do shit.
