Episode 41: Drilling the Skies (w/ Jonathan Jennings)

They say if you don't like something, change it. Well, have you ever walked outside, hating the weather and wishing you could change it? If you have, you're not alone and you're not the first person to think about it. C.W. Post, a Texas entrepreneur and idea-man, had an explosive idea to alter the weather above the West Texas skies. We're joined by Jonathan Jennings, the Director of Meteorology of the Texas Weather Modification Association. He will give us insights into weather modification, including cloud-seeding operations, and also talk to us about the conspiracy theories surrounding the idea of chemtrails. We're excited to bring this episode to you as a part of the 2018 National Weather Podcast Month. Visit weatherpodcastmonth.com for more information. Additionally, thanks to Phil Johnson from the Storm Front Freaks Podcast for his help with this episode's Weather Ready Nation preparedness message for Spring weather.
