Cloud Seeding and Vapor Rockets in Hurricane Control
With a touch of a button, the battle begins.
On the ground, chemical cloud seeders begin to work the
two storm
areas.
Robot planes seed the clouds from above.
The storm centers over Kansas and over Labrador intensify as
seeding continues.
Now changing over to Hurricane Center H.A.
The fury of the hurricane mounts as hundred mile an hour winds lash the
sea to a foaming frenzy.

As an emergency measure, the controller calls for a salvo of vapor
rockets
to be fired ahead of the path the hurricane is predicted to take.
These artificial clouds will block the sun from evaporating more
water to feed the hurricane.
The reports coming into the control center indicate that the diversionary cloud
seeding over Kansas is now creating a flood danger.
Specially equipped robot aircraft are dispatched immediately to
release a high concentration of cloud seeding material into
the fringes of the storm.
Heavier seeding from the ground also helps to subdue the rain by
spreading it over a wider area.
The controller calls for another view of the hurricane, which has now moved closer
to the coast.
