All cloud seeding does is start the storm a lil early to prevent damage. They cant go make a rain cloud with a plane. Im looking up at the sky. No clouds just smoke. They cant go up and make a rain cloud.

We unloaded some equipment at Two Creeks last night. Apparently they got 40 cats working just north of there and the fire jumped their line. Getting awful close to town!

Well i am glad we have the cloud seeding expert to clarify, thanks!

But again, it rained so they did/could cloud seed or they didnt? I would think this would be the first line of defense instead of sacrificing people lives to fight the fires no?

How are they going to make 500 000galins of water fall out of the sky with a plane? Think about it for a minute...lmao

Didnt watch a second of it too busy. Too busy for this aswell.Maybe its possible to modify weather with harp or something like that, who knows? Not you . Thats not the technology the locals have at thier desposal though. I know about cloud seeding. But like i said they need a cloud...

Take care.
