    To really get rid of it, permanently, you would need to cool the ocean underneath it off.

    Or heat up the upper athmosphere. The hurricane does not feed of the warm ocean per se, it feeds of the temperature difference from top to bottom.

    Well, you would still need a ton of nukes to accomplish it, and you would still have massive fallout wherever the system moves, but that way you at least have a chance of accomplishing something.

      Right, because as the air cools the moisture condenses. No cooling air, no condensation. Cool stuff, thank you for the correction.
