Hurricanes have been happening for as long as there have been weather systems and have yet to bring life on the planet, and indeed the planet itself, as we know it to an end. An all out nuclear war, on the other hand, would take care of this quite succinctly.

If I remember correctly, those who tested the original nuclear bomb were not perfectly certain that it wouldn't ignite and consume the earth's atmosphere . . .

Besides, hurricanes come and go. Nuclear fallout lasts generation after generation, as pointed out.

The potential destruction of nuclear explosions if far, far greater than any concievable hurricane. Felt the heat of the sun lately ? The bugger is 146 million km (91 million miles) away ! A hurricane hardly effects those outside its immediate path.

computernerd:

Florida's storms are frightful, indeed. But its governor is only a hop and skip away from that big red button. And consider who skip is -- now that's scary !


Okay, now, who would win the arm wrestle -- Hulk Hogan or The Hulk ?
