US EditionSen. Cruz: ‘Zero Evidence’ of Weather Modification in Kerrville Flooding Disaster
HARRIS COUNTY, TEXAS, JUL 7 – Senator Cruz called conspiracy theories about weather manipulation baseless and emphasized natural causes behind Texas floods that killed over 80 people, focusing on rescue and recovery efforts.
- On Monday, Senator Ted Cruz addressed the deadly flash flooding in Central Texas that resulted in at least 91 fatalities during the holiday period around July 4th.
- Cruz dismissed claims of government weather modification causing the floods, stating there is zero evidence to support such theories despite speculation from some Republicans including Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene.
- Floodwaters surged rapidly at Camp Mystic along the Guadalupe River, rising approximately 20 feet within a two-hour span, resulting in the deaths of 27 campers and counselors; meanwhile, officials were criticized for not evacuating the area more promptly.
- Cruz acknowledged that, looking back, a faster evacuation of flood-affected areas in Texas would have been the right course of action. He also mentioned that President Trump assured him that Texas would receive full support for whatever it requires.
- Search and rescue efforts with federal aid continue amid persistent flood risks, while Greene introduced a bill to ban atmospheric chemical dispersal aimed at weather modification.
