I remember people talking about this twenty-five years ago (now, that's dating yourself!). An article in USAToday says it's like trying to stop an elephant by throwing a ping-pong ball at it. Hurricanes cover tens of thousands of square miles, and the heat energy released by a hurricane absolutely dwarfs our most powerful explosives, thousands of times over. A bomb detonation would just render the storm radioactive as well.
