https://abcnews.go.com/Technology/story?id=97007&page=1 The hope is that tons of the powder might someday be used to steal strength from an ongoing hurricane. "Mother Nature is fooled in so many different ways every day," says Cordani, referring to other ways humans alter the planet, such as global warming and deforestation. "This is just a more obvious way. We just want to take a punch out of a storm so it doesn't level your house." The state of North Dakota and the Canadian province of Alberta have repeatedly use cloud seeding to make hail storms less destructive. By releasing silver iodide into carefully studied clouds, meteorologists have caused ice droplets to form more quickly - and in smaller pea-sized pebbles. Weak evidence has suggested that cloud seeding projects in Florida and Texas - as well as Moscow - have worked to squeeze water out of lingering clouds, triggering more rain. And researchers at the University of Utah say they have used similar methods to successfully clear fog around municipal and military airports. Still, until weather forecasters get it right every time, there's no guarantee that weather-changing efforts are really working or if it's simply a quirk in the complex workings of Mother Nature. Some argue that means tinkering with powerful weather events like hurricanes remains a risky endeavor. "If you do nothing and there's a horrible weather event, it's an act of God," says Hoffman. "But if you do something and even make matters a little better, someone may still bear a loss and they're sure to blame you."
