I thought about this once, but didn't give it much thought at first. Now, after looking through the Katrina topic again, I thought I'd bring it up. Who knows/can think of a way to kill a Hurricane? It should be possible. Currently, I'm thinking the best way to tackle the thing is to cause some sort of vacuum in it, like through the use of explosives. A massive enough vacuum could stop the winds altogether...but then again, if it's over land...the aftereffects....eh, not the best idea =\...

What're your ideas?

Well I don't think anything like that would be practical at all. You really don't know what a hurrican will do or how much damage it will cause, and going to all the trouble to stop a hurricane might be a waste.

turn the hurricane itself in the opposite direction by a biiiiiiiiiig proppeller in the middle of it until it turns into a cool breeze

Hurricane is coming my way. The expected path is directly where I live. It's a bull's eye. Hope you guys come up with some invention soon, other wise I might seriously lose my house. If I'm not online next week, you can take a safe guess why.

And yes, I am serious. But it isn't bothering me too much. It's just house. We can get a new one.

...Go with my dynamite idea. Hey, it works on fires, why not on hurricanes?(Yes, it does work on some fires). Okay, just think about it for a sec. Launch a container filled with enough dynamite in it into the bloody thing. The explosion would create enough of a disturbance in the air flow of the thing to kill it(hopefullly), or at the very least, slow it down. The only down side is that if the dynamite is detonated too near to the ground, it's going to cause some serious damage. Then again, since the Hurricane is already doing that, and will do more if not stopped...I say, what the hell? Let's do it.

This is pointless. Killing a hurricane? No. In fact, hurricanes are probably good for the environment. They bring in water. Hell, the remnants of one of the hurricanes seriously helped salvage massachusetts crops this year.

I want Wilma to just absolutely own everything in it's path. Just leave utter destruction.

The Remnants might of helped, but it could of been the remnants of Katrina, and "They Bring in water" would be an understatement, if you told that to anyone who lived in New Orleans. Only brought in 10+ Feet of it.

I remember a couple of weeks ago, I think it was on a Radio show, they had viewers asking questions about hurricanes to an expert on them, and someone asked if it would work, blowing the hurricane up. The expert said a bomb would have the same effect as pouring a glass of water in the ocean. Nothing. Maybe if they could find a way to make a bomb the size of an atomic bomb explosion without all the radiation....

Hm...I read somewhere, just yesterday I think, that you could stop a hurricane by basically blowing gas or cold water up from under one in order to stop it. The theory is that the gas would push up cold water as well, or better yet, just use the cold water. Either way, it's supposed to be blown upwards from a tube, and into the hurricane, and somehow that's supposed to stop it. I'm not exactly sure how the logic behind this works, or if it can even be applied to our current situation... but it's supposedly worked before.

Eh, so the dynamite idea was a no go, huh? ...hm... a bomb without radiation. A clean bomb? I'll look into that... I think something like that already exists...

In anycase, I look into hurricanes a bit more...here's what I got: Attempts to weaken, destroy hurricanes

In light of this info... Let's think in terms of having no other option but to modify a hurricane. Katrina seems to be one of the most recent examples of this, we really shouldn't have lost so many lives like that. So in those cases, where it can't be avoided, how would we kill/get rid of a hurricane, if not at the very least change its course?

Actually, I think there is a way to change the course of a hurricane. I just wanted to see if anyone else could come up with anything.

Also, it was stated that hurricanes are generated from humid environments or something like that, and many people have been thinking that this may directly relate to global warming. If this is so, perhaps we would be better off trying to take care of that first, and hope it improves the hurricane situation?

We'll blow up the ground underneath the hurricane so it's stuck in a hole!

But I thought hurricanes float in the sky. O.O

I thought those were tornadoes...You can't float in the sky with no ground to float on! Blah, I've never personally see a hurricane, so can someone tell me?

I looked up this very thing on Wikipedia (I know, not the ABSOLUTE best source), and it said something like a hurricane generates so many bagillion joules of energy that they equal the energy of thousands of nukes. It would be like throwing a cherry bomb into a tornado. Even if nukes weren't tried, I don't think any amount of explosives would be able to seriously affect a hurricane. The potential environment risks, not to mention financial cost, just wouldn't be practical.

Entertaining idea though, might make a good movie. The only way to stop the killer category 10 hurricane is to band all of the world's nukes together! LOL

You could lower the temperature of the Ocean by several tenths of a Celcius/Kelvin degree (not too much or else it would be worse), considering how hurricanes work and form. Of course, it would mean having to ban cars and greenhouse-gas producing stuff, and whatnot. It wouldn't kill any that start, but the ones that would form would be less likely to be level 5s, and an ounce of prevention is better than a pound of the cure.

Just ask 1 million people to fart at the same time on the hurricane. It smell, but it work.

You also have to take into effect no one knows what will happen if you actually detonate a large enough bomb into a hurricane.. because if you did, the shockwaves would create tidal waves, which would suck, and the bombs could effect the weather paterns, and make them worse.

There is actually people who don't think global warming actually exists? -_-
