Experts Seed Hurricane Debbie in Hope to Weaken Storm
A U S Navy jet dumped silver iodide over Debbie as part of Operation Stormfury. Four more seeding drops were planned within an eight hour window to chemically freeze the hurricane and reduce its force before reaching land. Thirteen aircraft, including seeding planes, tracked and seeded clouds around the storm’s eye about 700 nautical miles east northeast of Puerto Rico. Dr. Robert Simpson of the National Hurricane Center said the project could impact lives by slowing the storm’s strength.
