70th Anniversary of the first hurricane seeding experiment
On the afternoon of October 13, 1947, an Air Force B-17 aircraft penetrated a hurricane 415 miles (667 km) east of Jacksonville and dumped several pounds of crushed dry ice into the storm, just to see what would happen. This was the first attempt to modif...
There was a video on GAB yesterday that showed a plane flying over the Hurricane with multiple passes. It also pointed out the direction changed were not normal. There seems to be a growing amount of evidence to argue this Hurricane was manmade.
Well, man can change the climate, right? Seeding hurricanes is child's play.
Helene, right? Or Milton? Or both?
Helene. I'm sure everyone is watching for anomolies on the Milton path. A family member is on a plane out of Tampa tomorrow AM.
Thanks for this!! It was a help to me to show my husband how I research things to know if it is fake or not. He does not believe that they are capable of manipulating the weather and thinks everything is fake. I typed in NOAA into my browser and went directly to their website and while I was in their website, I simply typed 70th into the search option. It took me directly to this article and then I had him read it. He was pretty speechless after I showed him how to properly do your own research. I explained to him that it is amazing what you will find hidden in plain sight when you know what to search for.
The scientists were eager to examine the storm the following day. However, when they flew to the predicted storm location, they had trouble locating the eye. After some hunting, they found the hurricane center nearly 100 miles (160 km) west of where they expected it to be. To their astonishment, the hurricane had made a 135-degree left turn and was now moving due west. On top of that, it was strengthening! By the afternoon of the 15th, Hurricane King struck Savannah, GA. One person died in the storm surge, and US$2 million in damage was done to Georgia and South Carolina.
The public was outraged that the scientists had caused the storm to swerve into Georgia and threats of lawsuits were thrown about. GE’s case was not helped when the head of its Laboratories, Dr. Irving Langmuir, issued a statement that he was “99% sure” the storm had changed course due to the seeding. Chief of the Weather Bureau, Dr. Francis Reichelderfer, thought differently and appointed three of his weathermen to find a case where a hurricane had followed a similar track but had not been seeded. The case was published, demonstrating that hurricanes could swerve like that without the use of dry ice, and the threats of lawsuits eventually evaporated.
But the public’s early enthusiasm for weather modification slackened. In an era when many science fiction movies featured mad scientists threatening world destruction (or worse) from their hubris, this event seemed to fit the trope. For many years after, no scientist dared mention ‘weather modification’ and ‘hurricane’ in the same sentence. Eleven years later, the National Hurricane Research Project carried out very modest seeding equipment tests in a hurricane but kept things on the “down low” until they were sure the storm wouldn’t pull a swerve on them. It wasn’t until 1962 that the U.S. Weather Bureau and the Department of Defense reached a formal agreement to carry out Project STORMFURY and attempted to seed hurricanes again.
There is no such thing. There are models. They usually run each model 25 to 100 times and then plot all the tracks. The "average of all tracks" is the "predicted one."
These days they run the models every 30 minutes because this can't actually predict anything. It can just give you a list of probabilities.
Editorial nonsense. No one who works around hurricanes would be "astonished" by this. "To their astonishment" is precisely the kind of government spoonfed bullshit line that lets you know whoever is using it doesn't know anything about what they're saying.
lol. Yea, the wizard of oz is real, and he is controlling the weather, just to fuck with you.
Pull the stars out of your eyes and think for a minute.
On the afternoon of October 13, 1947, an Air Force B-17 aircraft penetrated a hurricane 415 miles (667 km) east of Jacksonville and dumped several pounds of crushed dry ice into the storm, just to see what would happen. This was the first attempt to modify a tropical cyclone by seeding it with freezing nuclei.
My state has already passed a law banning weather manipulation (chemtrails).

Bastards!
Wow! 1950s was decade with the most hurricanes on record.
Wonder if they were doing a bunch of testing in those days
This is so dumb. They dropped 50 lbs of dry ice on the very edge clouds of a Category 3 Hurricane that was around 100 miles across?
There's no way in hell that caused any deviation in the storm. A lot of Hurricanes will produce hail in mid-summer in Miami.
This is the kind of thinking (coincidence) that gives rise to witchcraft theories. Just because event B happened after event A does not mean A caused B. My alarm clock went off--then Mount St. Helens blew up. So...my alarm clock caused Mount St. Helens to blow up? (I guess I better not set that alarm clock ever again.)
When I was a kid in the Sonoran desert I saw circle shaped donut clouds spaced weirdly evenly, if I recall. It was so very odd, they spread out and it became overcast, the clouds looked pitted where the hole of the donut was.
Maybe I'm remembering this wrong it was so long ago. But I remember feeling a spooky a feeling.
There is footage that a lot of unnatural interference is happening in California to continue the drought and Florida. Another storm? https://x.com/BGatesIsaPyscho/status/1842656905057230893
