The Rain Wizard of the Midwest

Can a person actually make it rain? In this episode of Everything But the Cats, we dive into the strange world of rainmakers in the 1890s. These people claimed they could influence the weather and bring rain to dry lands. At the center of our story is one particular rainmaker named Melbourne, also known as the Rain Wizard. How did rainmakers supposedly control the weather? Is there any reason to believe their claims? And are we still doing this today? Tune in with us as we seek to find answers to all of these questions. If you have your own theories, stories, or ideas please share them in the comments below.
