Deny Seeding Altered Route of Hurricane
U S Weather Bureau forecaster says the 1947 hurricane seeded with dry ice likely changed course only due to natural factors. Conrad Mook notes the storm was possibly standing still or already recurveing when seeded, which argues against a contributory seeding effect raised by Langmuir of General Electric. The hurricane struck Miami on Oct 9, then veered offshore and back toward Savannah causing about five million dollars in damage.
