Did you know that 1 hurricane = 500,000 Atomic bombs?

That's hard to believe but according to the Weather Channel, hurricanes are the greatest storms on Earth and can release energy about 1,000,000,000,000,000 (1 quadrillion) Watts, which is 3000 times the total electric power generated in the world. This energy is equivalent 2 exploding 500,000 Hiroshima-type atom bombs per day.

Maybe so but you can inhabit the area that was ground zero for a hurricane right after it is gone but not so with a nuclear bomb.
