Watching from a polar orbit 865 miles above the earth, Essa's twin TV cameras gave the Texas Gulf Coast twelve days' advance warning on her course.

One type of discharge, which lingers on the ground for a relatively long period of time (about one-fifth of a second)-appeared to be responsible for most fires. Thus, the scientists hope, cloud seeding...
