Detonating a nuclear missile in the eye of a hurricane raises questions about its potential effects. The consensus is that a significant nuclear explosion, likely in the megaton range, could disrupt the hurricane, possibly causing a condensation effect that disperses some energy into the ocean. However, the energy from the hurricane would still remain, leading to uncertainty about whether the storm would reform. Additionally, the radioactive fallout from such a detonation poses serious environmental concerns, as atmospheric detonations are banned due to the risks of contamination. Chemically, the explosion would ionize some atmospheric components, but the hurricane's primary composition of water vapor and air would remain largely unchanged. The idea humorously concludes that the result could be a "radioactive hurricane," highlighting the impracticality and dangers of such an action.
