    This is completely unrelated to the meme at hand, but the title just reminded me that for a while, Merriam-Webster mistakenly included the word "Dord" to mean density - because an editor misread the entry for "D or d" as an abbreviation of density.

    Cardinals molt their feathers and look really goofy about once a year iirc. Totally normal, nothing to worry about really.

    Casual reminder that the NOAA has an official section on their FAQ page about nuking hurricanes - https://www.aoml.noaa.gov/hrd-faq/#Stop

    The #Stop in that URL just jumps to the section of the page about commonly asked methods for stopping hurricanes, but you could also interpret it as them kindly asking that you #Stop this line of inquiry immediately.

    I know it doesn't actually answer the question, but the numbers included give you an idea of the kind of scale you'd be looking at. tl;dr hurricanes are much much stronger than nukes, and also it seems unlikely that dropping a nuke on a hurricane would even affect it in the right way to disrupt it.
