Sure, but the consequences would be significantly worse. In order to be a threat to people, a tornado must be near a populated area. A nuclear blast near a populated area would inflict upon that population: a blast wave, firestorm, catastrophic winds from pressure differences, ionizing radiation, and radioactive fallout, the latter of which would result in poisoning and irradiation of inhabitants for decades, resulting in cancer and genetic mutations. http://www.epa.gov/radiation/rert/nuclearblast.html http://www.epa.gov/radiation/rert/nuclearblast.html http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Effects_of_nuclear_explosions http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Effects_of_nuclear_explosions http://wiki.answers.com/Q/Would_a_nuclear_bomb_destroy_a_tornado http://wiki.answers.com/Q/Would_a_nuclear_bomb_destroy_a_tor...
