I don't want to sound like a boo bird, but take a look at just one tornado has done to American cities. Add up the weight of the destruction and then add the energy necessary to dislodge and move all that weight from where it was to where it wound up.
The numbers would be staggering and that's just for one tornado, not a season's worth, or winter storm, or hurricane.
Maybe on a sectional/local basis, like seeding thunderstorms in the midwest to reduce the possibility of hail, but on a grand margin, I doubt it. I mean the seeding doesn't kill the storm just makes it less deadly.
Take for example a nice simple 4" rain over how big of an area.
Take 10 miles x10 miles for an area.....100 sq. miles
640 (section) acres per sq. mi = 64000 acres of area
Acre ft = 43560 cu ft; 4" rain = 1/3 or 14520 cu ft per acre
Cu ft of water weighs 62.5#
So, 64000 acres x 14520 cu ft/ac x 62.5# = 58.8,000,000,000# That's Billion, with a B.
And that's just for the numbers I used. How about when half the country is inundated? Gimme a break.

It increased the farm productivity and, in general, made life easier because more work could be done with this 'mechanical beast'. My dad dreamed that some day he would have his own tractor with every implement he could get. When he rea
