"South of San Antonio, we had aircraft flying on a dozen days in the month of July treating what we deemed to be seedable storms," said George Bomar, the manager of the Weather Modification Program for Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation Department.

"(That) means that the storm lived longer and produced more rain over a larger area."

Once part of the realm of fantasy, cloud seeding is now a routine and verifiable process.
