I WAS WONDERING WHY A GBU-43/B "Mother Of All Bombs" MOAB - Massive Ordnance Air Blast Bomb COULD BE BUILT AT 47,000LBS OF WHICH 45,000LBS OF THE HIGHEST EXPLOSIVE BE USED.
I'M SURE IF SEVERAL DOZEN WERE DROPPED IN A HURRICANE IT WOULD DISRUPT THE CIRCULATING WINDS CUTTING BACK THE SEVERITY OF A HURRICANE. WHERE SOME MAY SAY ITS A BB HITTING A AIRCRAFT CARRIER, I BELIEVE UNTIL TRIED TRUE DATA CANNOT BE COLLECTED.
IF NO ONE WANTS TO TAKE CHANCES WITH A STORM NEAR THE COAST I BELIEVE THAT A TEST CAN BE PERFORMED ON A STORM SEVERAL THOUSAND MILES OFF THE COAST. THE EFFECT OF A CHAIN OF SEVERAL DOZEN BOMBS TIMED TO GO OF IN A CLOCKWISE MOTION COULD ACCUMULATE ENOUGH POWER TO DISPERSE AT LEAST SOME OF THE POWER OF A HURRICANE. IF 25-50MPH COULD BE KNOCKED OFF A STORM DAMAGES COULD BE DRASTICALLY REDUCED. PLUS IT WOULD BE NICE TO SEE SUCH MASSIVE DESTRUCTIVE WEAPONS BEING USED FOR THE GOOD OF HUMANITY.
