Rainmaking Experiments Try to Bring Rain to Warrensburg
Fourth of July celebrations at Warrensburg and Pertle Springs are used as rain producers. Jars filled with zinc acid and water were placed on a hill to generate an electrical current hoping to attract moisture. Jars burn out and produce rain making activity, with mortars sending rain bombs up to 600 feet. Local residents have used this method before with some success within a day. Current conditions are hindered by hot dry southwest winds.
