This topic is ONLY about the concept of nuking hurricanes in an attempt to prevent landfall on American territory, which includes Hawaii. This would most likely include every hurricane passing east to west near the Big Island or prior to reaching the islands.
TO KEEP THIS TOPIC LOCAL PLEASE DO NOT USE NAMES OF POLITICAL FIGURES. Heads of committees, scientists, etc are fine.
"I got it. I got it. Why don't we nuke them?" according to one source who was there. "They start forming... as they're moving across... we drop a bomb inside the eye of the hurricane and it disrupts it. Why can't we do that?" the source added, paraphrasing the Person’s remarks.
He has suggested multiple times to senior Homeland Security and national security officials that they explore using nuclear bombs to stop hurricanes from hitting the United States, according to sources who have heard the Person’s private remarks and been briefed on a National Security Council memorandum that recorded those comments.
The notion that detonating a nuclear bomb over the eye of a hurricane could be used to counteract convection currents dates to the Eisenhower era, when it was floated by a government scientist.
The idea keeps resurfacing in the public even though scientists agree it won't work. The myth has been so persistent that the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, the U.S. government agency that predicts changes in weather and the oceans, published an online fact sheet for the public under the heading "Tropical Cyclone Myths Page."

What do you think? If a hurricane was headed this way, projected as a direct hit, would a little fallout and radiation be an acceptable trade off? Even if scientists say it wouldn’t work?
