Hail Prevention Plan by Norman Group Fails to Stop Storms
The High Plains Hail Prevention Association led by Gordon Clouser plans to use P-40 fighters to darken clouds and push hail down with fire from altitude in an effort to protect crops. One plane crashed en route to Texas and gear jammed on another during a hail hunting flight near Abernathy. Farmers pay 40 cents an acre to the effort, with refunds if crops are damaged. The project, backed by Scholarship Hall in Norman, Oklahoma, was slow to start after incorporations as a non profit educational venture.
