    What the H is a "seeding plane"? I've never heard of this.

    Sorta. It's to generate small hail before the big, destructive ones have a chance to build up.

    That was one of the most pissed off storms I have ever seen here in 16 years. But the hail stop guys/gals earned their $$$ last night for sure. It appeared they were trying to DIRECT the storm to the North, which it appeared to do after an hour.

    ChemTrails bro. They release silver iodide into clouds, which trickles down and allows the government to read our minds!!

    But seriously, I can't help but wonder if the compounds they do release ends up in our drinking water.

    I dont think it has the ability to re-route storms.. I do think that Calgary has a bit of a shield to storms due to the heat-island effect, has to be pretty big to break into it.

    Silver iodide - yes, it absolutely ends up in our drinking water - but at super low concentrations (not that I claim any amount is or isnt toxic)

    Silver is a pretty safe substance. There's multiple studies showing no impact on the environment. This isn't ddt they're spraying - it's a naturally occurring compound. Bow river carries levels in the 0.001 mg/L range already from naturally occurring errosion.

    What’s this thing about a tornado? Didn’t get a text but some friends did. Could just be in the NE?

    For the same reason you get a Amber alert at 4am for a missing child 500kms away. Overusage of the system.
