Thanks to all who helped on this fight against this soviet style program. Big effort by everyone! Reminder to Williams county where it has rained less than 2” all year we have signs to help your cause to end weather mod there also. Mountrail, Mckenzie you guys need to stop too!
1/2)Well it’s official. Weather Modifcation in Ward county is abolished! Amazing after 50 years the bureaucrats were sent packing by a huge margin. Good to know 3/5 of county commissioners were out of touch on this! If they couldn’t see this coming think of what they miss!
It’s funny to think they took tax payer money all those years to prop up a program that got slaughtered 9-1 in a vote. I’m sure Shelly weppler would have an excuse though. She is always wrong after all and this is just another perfect example.
Ironic that this is directly across street from the cess pool that is Mike Dwyer law firm and Clearwater communications the firm that represents the ND weather mod association. I should stop in and say SCOREBOARD BITCH!!!
It’s a given they will do their best to wreck it and claim they are helping us and making it rain more when the data surely doesn’t show that. Why else would ward county vote it out 9-1. @DougBurgum halt the NDCMP.
Ward county voted 9-1 to end weather modifcation yet mountrail county thinks it can seed every storm right to our line even though that is giving us weather modifcation. This needs to and should stop. It would lessen flight hours which according to bureaucrats is sacred.
4/4 mountrail county would have around 30% more money I’m guessing if they didn’t spend all this time seeding clouds exiting their county. It shows how program is wanting flight hours to Pad pockets of WMI while disrespecting vote and efficient use of taxpayer money.
1/4)Further proof the NDCMP is about flight hours not spending tax payer money efficiently or following downstream property rights. Here they are seeding again close to ward county line. It takes 20-30 minutes minimum for seeding to take effect.
3/4If I were from mountrail county I’d wander why they seed clouds that do not affect its county? Mountrail county pays for seeding in mountrail not for down wind counties to get supposed benefit. County commission needs to remember that when they request more money in August.
This guys head is spinning. He doesn’t know where to go to waste taxpayer money. Check out the longevity of the shower he did seed. It’s about the program not results people. Time to stop.
If I were in cloud seeding program I’d ask local weatherboard why do they seed within 5-10 minutes of storm leaving seeding county? It’s because it’s about the program not results. 3 planes hammering a cloud that will be in ward county in less than 10 minutes. End it everywhere!
@DarylRitchison@NDAWNmesonet Sounds like they need to contact us. Rain enhancement not working and by looks at hailstorm from June neither is hail suppression! This photo is from calagary and how well hail suppression has gone this year!!
Just this morning. As the pilot said on the Facebook page “every storm we seeded was smaller when it left county than when we started seeding it”. End the program!
Hey you clowns still in weather mod program when you ask for money explain flying showers like these. It’s wet everywhere and non severe storms yet we out flying like mad. @DougBurgum introduce legislation to end the NDCMP!! It’s a waste and all about private interests!
This is so True and awesome. I wonder when @DougBurgum is going to say something about a program 48 counties want no part of but are forced to put up with it because 4 counties have “always done it this way”
Call weather modification inc in Fargo. They have as much respect for property rights as your average communist! I heard they had a plane free up that’s looking for work. I wander if Calgary will fire them after they failed last Saturday!
@DJAngier Ward County ND was the longest continuous ran hail suppression project in the world. It was just put to a vote to continue and it was ended by a 9-1 margin!
This is a huge event, 10s of 1000s of homes damaged, not to mention commercial and vehicles. We need to think of this as being a billion-dollar loss, maybe even considerably north of a billion.

@ICLRCanada@vailcat You really can’t make this stuff up! Calgary and their hail suppression FAILED miserably. Time for ND taxpayers to stop funding this fraud in our state. FYI Weather Mod Inc out of Fargo is their contractor. Same one we use here......used
