Episode description

This week we explore, "Can we nuke a hurricane?" According to Trump, he never suggested that we nuke a hurricane to disrupt its course. But knowing him, he totally did... So we sat down to figure out if that would do anything and other attempts at controlling the weather throughout history. There's no time like the present to support us on Patreon!

Every week on Stranger Still, we take the questions you've never questioned to ask and try to answer them. We want to make you laugh and teach you something interesting at the same time. So join us every Wednesday for another fun filled learn!
