Experts Reject Cloud Seeding Link to Central Texas Floods

TEXAS, JUL 11 – Experts and Texas officials reject claims that Rainmaker's cloud seeding caused the floods, noting the storm produced trillions of gallons of rain, far exceeding seeding effects.

  • Experts, including Edward Gryspeerdt and Travis Herzog, have stated that cloud seeding can only enhance existing rainfall, not create significant storms.
  • Scientific consensus, supported by Augustus Doricko, states that cloud seeding operations before the floods were not responsible for the disaster.
  • Matthew Cappucci, senior meteorologist at MyRadar, emphasized, "You don’t spontaneously make 4 trillion gallons of water appear in Texas."
  • Katja Friedrich, an atmospheric scientist, asserted that despite online rumors, "cloud seeding had nothing to do" with the floods.
