Project Cirrus - Hurricane Modification in 1947 that Caused Local Destruction
In 1947, a weather modification program called Project Cirrus attempted to modify a hurricane using dry ice instead of silver iodide. 200 pounds of dry ice were dropped into the storm, which was initially heading west to east and heading out to sea.
The initial results of the seeding were inconclusive, but the hurricane turned sharply towards the Southeastern United States after the seeding took place, causing local destruction.
Project Cirrus was a collaboration of the General Electric Corporation, the US Army Signal Corps, the Office of Naval Research, and the US Air Force.
Despite its ambitious nature, the successful seeding did not come without consequences: the hurricane, which had initially been tracking west to east and heading out to sea, reversed its path after it was seeded and made landfall in Savannah, Georgia, causing local destruction.
