If a storm starts building I'm sure the two hail-stop aircraft at the airport will get the call to go up and start seeding the cloud to minimize the size of hail. |
I'm a big believer in those planes.
One late afternoon at our acreage southwest of the city, we had one of those ugly looking orange clouds over our heads, lightning spewing out every direction . . . . . and the buzz of those little planes over our heads.
A few minutes later, golf-ball and occasional baseball sized hail started to come down and "splooot," the stuff just mushed when it hit the cars and ground.
I'm sure my place would have been totalled without those planes.
That's what I think anyway. Others would say it's witchcraft.
