Rainmaker Hatield: Placa Conmemorativa

Por Nelson 22 - 30 de Agosto, 2006, 0:50, Categoría: General

Compañeros, esta es la placa conmemorativa a
la vida de Charles Mallory Hatfield, quien inundara
con lluvia Ocean Side, por allá por 1915 si bien
recuerdo...

El texto de la placa hace referencia a este hecho.

En su vida, Hatfield tuvo mas de 500 tormentas
contratadas con éxito en diversos lugares donde
habían sequías. Sin duda fue el Rain Maker mas
famoso de la historia.
 
Trabajo durante ocho años por ejemplo, para los
mineros.
 
En su honor se hizo la pelicula The Rainmaker,
protagonizada por Burt Lancaster y Katerin Hepburn
en 1916. En español se la conoció con el nombre de
"El Farsante". Se lo invito al estreno de la pelicula.
 
Nunca se supo cuales eran los químicos que juntaba
(cerca de 22) que entreveraba y producían un olor
muy fétido y luego, a las pocas horas de sacar las
tapas, se elevaban a la atmósfera y producian
copiosas lluvias.

El escritor premio nobel Saul Bellow a la par hizo
un libro también llamado The Rainmaker y
personajes como Darren McGavin protagonizaron
tambien obras de teatro con ese mismo nombre en
memoria de estos personajes.
Texto que acompaña a la página:

So, not too far from here is this memorial for Charles Hatfield the Rainmaker (Charles Who the What? you say? Yeah, exactly. That's pretty much what I said too...!) Evidently this guy fancied himself a rainmaker, and along with his brother Paul he was hired by the City of San Diego during a drought in 1915. The brothers built a 24-foot tower at Lake Morena, sprinkled secret rain-potions all around, and shortly a deluge began that caused the Morena Dam to burst and vast areas of San Diego County to be flooded. about twenty people were killed and the Hatfields were forced to leave town without the $10.000 they were supposed to get paid by the city. Now isn't that fascinatin'?

Sobre el Rainmaker "Charles Hatfield"

Charles Hatfield

Rain, Rain, Go Away

Aug 26, 200611:27 PM

Lately, I've had weird random things pop up suddenly into my head. Things that I've seen before, somewhere, but don't remember exactly where. A couple days ago, there was Bolo Ball (see also some screenshots), but just now, it was Charles Hatfield.

Hatfield was a modern American alchemist of sorts. His particular field was weather modification. From his Wikipedia biography:

In 1915 the San Diego city council, pressured by the Diego Wide Awake Improvement Club, approached Hatfield to produce rain to fill the Morena Dam reservoir. Hatfield offered to produce rain for free, then charge $1,000 per inch for between forty to fifty inches and free again over fifty inches. The council voted four to one for a $10,000 fee, payable when the reservoir was filled. Hatfield, with his brother, built a 20-foot tower beside Lake Morena and was ready early in the New Year.

On January 5, 1916 heavy rain began – and grew gradually heavier day by day. Dry riverbeds filled to the point of flooding. Worsening floods destroyed bridges, marooned trains and cut phone cables – not to mention flooding homes and farms. Two dams, Sweetwater Dam and one at Lower Otay Lake, overflowed. Rain stopped January 20 but resumed two days later. On January 27 Lower Otay Dam broke, increasing the devastation and reportedly causing about 20 deaths (accounts vary on the exact number).

Hatfield talked to the press on February 4 and said that the damage was not his fault and that the city should have taken adequate precautions. Hatfield had fulfilled the conditions of his contract – filled the reservoir – but the city council refused to pay the money unless Hatfield would take liability for damages; there were already claims worth $3.5 million. Besides, there was no written contract. Hatfield tried to settle for $4,000 and then sued the council. In two trials, the rain was ruled an act of God but Hatfield continued the suit until 1938 when the court threw the case out.

Now that's funny.

I don't remember how I found this originally, and I have no idea why I remembered it now. But I did, and now you know about him too.
