Rain-Maker Jack Corn Hailed For Cloud Seeding Flight
Fort Worth man Jack Corn, hired by the Amarillo Chamber on a 10 day contract, reportedly flew over cloud banks near Claude and fired sodium iodide to induce rain. While rain touched the McLean Shamrock and Samnerwood area with hail, a tornado damaged Fort Worth and Sumnerwood structures including the Fort Worth Denver station, post office, and a blacksmith shop. Corn departed after his contract ended, claiming no responsibility for the twister and noting he did not know if his actions caused the rain.
