Summary
In 1950, facing a crippling drought, New York City turned to an unlikely savior: Dr. Wallace E. Howell, a Harvard-educated meteorologist tasked with making it rain. This is the story of his unprecedented campaign to replenish the city's reservoirs, a saga filled with scientific innovation and public controversy.
Howell's Storm explores the ethical dilemmas, tabloid media frenzy, and clash of personalities that defined this pivotal moment in climate history. Discover:
- The science of cloud seeding and its early applications
- The political pressures and public skepticism surrounding weather modification
- The lasting legacy of New York City's only official rainmaker
