The US Public Health Service claims there is a little environmental impact by cloud seeding. But some studies have shown that silver iodide is toxic and dangerous. I guess the safest bet is to pray for rain--REAL rain.

I'd never heard about the rain following so many battles. That's really interesting. I don't know if seeding clouds is good or not.

It's caused some major floods in the past, but they seem to have a better handle on it now. We'll see.

It surprises me when people carry on about the lack of rain here in Southern California. We live in the desert. A drought is normal.

I also wasn't familiar with cloud-seeding. If it works, it seems like a good thing, but then I don't know what the side effects are. A friend of mine came east a couple of years ago during the drought and was amazed to see how much rain that side of the country had.Marilyn Turkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09613157670868692501noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4271375082145370896.post-73715618583818606072017-08-24T08:45:39.819-04:002017-08-24T08:45:39.819-04:00Hi Marilyn, when my husband spray-painted our gras...Hi Marilyn, when my husband spray-painted our grass, the neighbors thought he was crazy, but we had the greenest grass on the block.
