Isn't that what happened at the start of "The Day After Tommorrow" ?

Very nasty way to die

Measures have been taken to counter the hailstorm, including cloud seeding. In Chongqing alone, some 2,100 rounds have been launched to force hail to change into rain.

Why don't they just leave nature to do what it wants?

Nature will never be beaten.
