They say tsar at 50. I want that bad boy at the original planned 100.
"A fully developed hurricane releases the same amount of energy as the explosion of a 10-megaton nuke every 20 minutes"
So Tsar at planned 100 is equivalent to 3 hours 20 minutes worth of hurricane energy.

Edit also I'm just fucking around. I said in the first comment that a the system energy is boggling.
As more foolery, I don't think we really know the atmospheric stability impact of a 100MT detonation. I armchair believe it isn't just a linear power output issue.
