When storm clouds gather in the sky, most people run for cover. But the American pilot Steffany Royal jumps in her car and heads to the nearest runway. As a member of a weather modification team, her job is to fly into the storm and seed the clouds with a chemical to encourage rain in an area of drought or even suppress hail in order to protect crops for farmers.
