Sound can do a lot, but we will not be about to generate enough sound to affect a hurricane in the slightest. Even a nuclear bomb would not change a hurricane, it would just make it radioactive.

Hmm, I wonder about that. I wonder what the impact would be of a nuke detonated in the atmosphere in the eye of a 'cane. I'm sure it would have to be a HUGE nuke. But the intense heat and pressure wave would have to do SOMETHING to a 'cane. Granted, one big enough to have much impact would be VERY bad for lots of folks, likely on a global scale.

I wonder if we even make them that big any more. I think there was a time when the US and USSR were going for size (what was the big one, USSR tsar bomba). I feel like there may have been a global change to move to smaller focused nukes (but that may not be the case).
