How to stop a terrorist hurricane like Rita / Katrina?

A desperate situation requires desperate measures.

The USA is regularly hit by tornados or hurricanes and it seems
it should be possible with existing technology to stop them, especially hurricanes.
Basically they are fuelled by warm air rising up rapidly to the colder atmosphere.
Perhaps the military could explode incendiary devices / missiles / bombs
in the atmosphere which could
warm the air & interupt the cycle.
I am NOT suggesting brute nuclear force is necessary, merely HEAT, applied in the correct location, perhaps around the circumference at regular distances, at its narrowest point.

Some hurricanes are hundreds of miles across so the target area is important.

Just a thought...... anyone else have a solution?
