It's possible but will never be done because it is extremely dangerous.

You would need to use a nuclear bomb to make even the slightest effect against a tornado. If the bomb is detonated in the air, it can equalise the hot and cold air causing the tornado, causing it to fizzle out.

However, the power of the tornado will disperse the nuclear explosion over several hundred miles, killing millions of people, wiping out plant life and poisoning water and food supplies.

You're better off letting the tornado do its thing and disperse naturally, bombing it will make matters worse either way.

Nature is the one thing man will never have any control over.

Can a nuclear bomb or reaction blow up a whole state?

Yes and no depending on the size of the bomb or reaction and also the size of the state if it was Texas the bomb or reaction would have to be as big as or bigger then an apartment room.But a nuclear bomb isn't the most powerful bomb in the world the most powerful bomb is a hydrogen bomb.


How big of an area would a nuclear bomb destroy?

The size of the area destroyed by a nuclear bomb depends on its yield. A small nuclear bomb with a yield of 1 kiloton could destroy buildings within a few city blocks, while a larger bomb with a yield of 1 megaton could impact several square miles. The damage would also vary based on the bomb's design, height of detonation, and local geography.


1 big nuclear bomb how many miles would it reach?

The distance a nuclear bomb can reach depends on various factors such as the size of the bomb, the altitude at which it detonates, weather conditions, and landscape. Generally, a large nuclear bomb could have a blast radius of several miles and cause destruction over a wider area through the effects of heat, blast, and radiation.


How big is a 1 teraton bomb?

A teraton bomb would be 1 million megatons, at least 20,000 times larger than the largest nuclear weapon ever built (tera = trillion or 1012, mega = million or 106). An explosive device with that yield would devastate most of a planet the size of Earth. Some impacts between asteroids and planets would be in the 10 to 500 teraton range.


What instrument do they use for a tornado?

Meteorologists use a radar instrument called Doppler radar to detect tornadoes. Doppler radar can detect the rotation within a thunderstorm, which is a key indicator of possible tornado formation.
