CLASSIC - Did a Real-Life Rainmaker Almost Drown San Diego?

from Ridiculous History · host iHeartPodcasts

In today's episode we are revisiting a classic. Charles Mallory Hatfield considered himself a real-life rainmaker (or, as he preferred to describe himself, a 'moisture accelerator') and, when San Diego faced one of its most damaging droughts, Hatfield cracked a deal: He'd bring the water back to San Diego. City officials were skeptical, but desperate -- and, as ridiculous as it might sound -- they got more than they bargained for.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
