"The mysterious booming sound that’s been rocking a New Jersey town is apparently the result of a homemade “hail cannon” designed by a vineyard owner to protect his crop from bad weather, he and police told The Post.

Break up cloud formations? What a maroon. It's almost as silly as the attempt by the English in the 1930s to aim powerful microwave beams at aircraft with the intent of literally cooking the crews. It flopped because the beams were reflected off aluminum aircraft. But from that failure we got radar and microwave ovens.
