Dear Allan, The quote that "a prophet has no honour in their own country" is still valid. It seems that there is some scepticism with the concept that it may be possible to manipulate atmospheric congestion to influence precipitation. Hugh gave us all some very pertinent insights into the problems which can occur in areas where congestion in the atmosphere can cause rainfall problems. There was not a cook book type of presentation given by any of the speakers with Hugh, Brian and Peter sharing their own particular skills with the participants. When Barbara and I arrived home, it was to the usual promising clouds but no action. Dowsed up what needed to be broadcast (rose pink No. 54 and sea water) to ionise the atmosphere.Within 2 hours a mist developed, followed by gentle rain, which has turned into heavy rain, 2"overnight and still going strong. Water tanks are filling and the dams are starting to replenish. Rain is coming in from the east which is unusual for our area, what is amazing is that it is also coming in from the NW.- The two cells seem to have combined and formed into one super cell. The rain which has come from the NW has swept right across Australia from one side to the other giving a respite from drought conditions. It may seem difficult to claim that the ideas promoted in Hugh's Workshops have anything to do with the rain, however the effect of 300 people going home from the workshops and cleaning up the atmospheric congestion on their own properties, must have a major effect in starting the ethers flowing again. Wherever Hugh and entourage have gone it has rained, the Toowoomba workshop developed into a 20 " in 6 hour deluge up the coast. It flooded most of the coast of Queensland, then the entourage shifted to Coffs Harbour, where someone must have told Hugh to turn the energy down as it has only been heavy rain since then. Next they shifted on to Albury, the home of Hume Weir which when full contains 5 times the volume of water of Sydney Harbour. Hume Weir is down to 5 %, an indication of the conditions right across the eastern half of Australia. True to form it has started to rain there, so I reckon that 3 out of 3 is pretty good. If the American farmers dont support Hugh I think that it may be easy to get him to return to Australia and stay here. I will keep you informed Regards James---- Original Message ----- From: "Allan Balliett" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Thursday, February 20, 2003 11:49 PM Subject: UPDATE ON HUGH IN OZ?
