Hail cannon has neighbors ready to explode

OK, so I'm not a grain farmer, and I don't have an orchard, and a hailstorm isn't going to put me out of business, but boy, one of these babies sounds like fun!

After a series of hailstorms devastated the orchard's apple crop in 2007, the owner resorted this summer to using a hail cannon, a noisemaking machine whose sound waves supposedly disrupt the formation of hailstones.
