USAF to trial GBU-43/B MOAB as anti-hurricane weapon

Or so it says here. What are the odds on the selected hurricane being called Hillary…?

Actually, if done early enough in the development of the storm system, it might actually be able to disperse the storm. Once the storm is big enough to be named, there is little chance of it making any real difference. Also, I can think of more deserving tasks for a MOAB…

1) Get a huge ship on the high seas with around 40-50 powerful boeing 747 type engines
2) Point all the exhausts up and turn on the engines at max

3) Watch the ship shoot straight to the bottom.

There are so many wacky ideas out there to defy nature.

The best one in my book is as follows

1) Get a huge ship on the high seas with around 40-50 powerful boeing 747 type engines
2) Point all the exhausts up and turn on the engines at max
3) create an area of low pressure which will eventually become a depression and consume the energy. When the hurricane gets near the area, it will loose strength.

yep its a wacky idea.

MOAB and a hurricane would be the proverbial fart in a sandstorm. If it were a three or four stage nuke it might make a difference.

Well said.

Yea right.

LOL!

The secret operation will not be disclosed to the American people unless it is a complete success, but that might not be known for months or perhaps even years of study

Yea right.
