The CEO of a weather modification technology company has confirmed that cloud seeding operations took place in Texas just two days before the deadly central Texas flood occurred.
NBC News reported that Augustus Doricko, the CEO of Rainmaker, a weather modification company, said that planes had released silver iodide in the atmosphere in Texas two days prior to the fatal floods that have claimed over 100 lives.Doricko claims the cloud seeding operations did not cause the flooding in Texas.

I would be interested to see him be drug into court and made to prove their seeding operations did not have any impact on the storm.
Either it works and his company is at least partially responsible or it doesn't and his company is a fraud, either way I would think would put him in very hot water.

It rained 10" to 12" over only 4 hours. Coming down on already moisture-saturated, clay-like soil here in Texas means it is going to slip off the earth following gravity like the proverbial, "water off a duck's back."
This certainly helps explain why a gargantuan flood came down the Guadalupe River with those Camps squarely in its aim.
Congress needs to call an emergency session opening the legal path to allow flood victims to sue that company into the dirt.

Screwing with Mother Nature, i.e., God is never good. Mr. Doricko is one of those climate change LIARS. Like others, he's making money off the climate change scam and screwing with things far more powerful than he is. Mr. Doricko if you are a scientist PROVE that your so-called cloud seeding operations DIDN'T cause this tragedy. If it's science PROVE it. But instead, this lying climate change hoaxer and fraud asks us to believe that his Frankenstein type technology had no effect on the tragedy that happened in Texas. And maybe it didn't. But then again......? If it had no effect, PROVE it. We all need to follow the science, right pal? PROVE it.

Well, they say a bucket of water is enough to drown a person. In a contributory manner he may have unleashed hundreds of buckets of water.

Actually, #1, there is a third option, which is exactly what the CEO explained: They seeded clouds that dissipated before the torrential rain began.
As for it raining 10-12 inches in 4 hours, that has happened where I live several times. The problem isn't the amount of rain. The problem is that people INSIST on living and camping in flood prone areas while not paying close attention to the weather. Again, if you're going to live and play in a flood plain, you better be prepared for flooding.
The blame game--whether it's the NWS, Trump, or this rainmaking company--is STUPID!

I dare anybody to prove that cloud seeding is more consistently effective at stimulating rain than ran dances are. The temporal relationship between last week's seeding and the flood was somewhere between specious and coincidental.

Remember, MTG has a bill waiting, making it a felony to change the weather. I know she's
crazy (like a fox) but let's get this bill passed and sue this company into dirt like #3 said.

Notice how the narrative has changed. Those of us who mentioned weather manipulation were mocked as “conspiracy theorists,” and told it was the stuff of science fiction. The new narrative seems to be,”Well ok, we can manipulate the weather, but we can’t do it THAT MUCH. And, we certainly didn’t do this one.”

I've seen a lot of clouds in my years on this planet. I've never seen one stick around for two days, much less hold it's bladder for that long.
This guy had nothing to do with the floods.

Not related.
If you read the NWS report they stated, days before the rainfall, that the remains of a hurricane from the west coast of Mexico was going to hit a cold front and cause a very large rain event.
Not related to seeding two clouds two days before and hundreds of miles to the east....weather moves west to east, so this seeding would have cause rain there or farther east, not west.

Its not the CEO's responsibility to prove that his "product" didn't cause the flood. Rather its a prosecutor or plaintiffs job to prove that it did.
Im skeptical that cloud seeding unleashed that much water. If it did, that should end droughts forever.

How is this legal? Why do we let anyone disperse God-knows-what into our atmosphere? Should we get to say what we get exposed to? We need laws banning this, and quick!

I really doubt that this cloud seeding had anything to do with the tragedy. If it works at all, the effect is minimal. That doesn't preclude every ambulance chaser in the country descending on Kerr County. Probably sue the seeding company and anybody else connected to the tragedy.

The physiographic province in Central Texas where the vast majority of the flooding occurred, the Edwards Plateau, is roughly 60,000 square miles in area. The Texas Hill Country is also on the Edwards Plateau. Imagine how many heavy bomber aircraft would be required, flying non-stop sorties to seed the clouds over that large of an area. The Karst topography of the Edwards Plateau tends to funnel heavy rains into fast-moving, high-volume streams, some of which move underground only to emerge in locations down-dip from the entrance. The entrances of such streams into an already flooded river can be catastrophic, as we saw over the weekend.

@ #7
Why would you perform a cloud seeding operation for rain in an area about to be hit by a big storm if it was just going to do nothing and dissipate?

FTA: “Based on the meteorological evidence, the Texas floods were caused by a powerful natural weather system, with thunderstorms fed by very moist air from the warm Gulf of Mexico,” said Andrew Charlton-Perez, professor of meteorology at the University of Reading in the UK." (Gulf of America)
Why the hell are we citing some low-life professor from an "Enemy" country, albeit a former ally?

Several years ago it rained here 9" in 90 minutes. I have never seen that much rain in that short of a time span. I live on flat land. No rivers nearby. All we had was deep puddles everywhere. Lucky.

At the very least it shows these 'cloud-seeding' operations have no idea what they're doing and should be regulated by federal law.

Here we go with the blasted "experts" again.
Cloud seeding and covid vaccines both need to be banned.
If God wants drought for 3 ½ years He can go it. If He wants to flood the entire earth, He can do it.

Am I the only person wondering who ORDERED the seeding? Or can any anonymous person or group just go around releasing silver iodide into the atmosphere wherever and whenever they want?

Oh my golly, somebody has to pay for this….blah blah blah. The internet has suddenly made very one’s opinion fact. Conspiracy theories are the norm for everything including picking your nose as long as somebody is guilty. My jeopardy question to a lot of you internet sleuths, what is a wadi? Read up on Israel and their spontaneous floods. Acts of G-d still happen and you are not him.

I dunno. It seems like a stretch that a cloud seeding operation completed well east of the Guadalupe River disaster zone would have caused the deluge.
A fair question being asked by #29, however. It does suggest that cloud seeding in general is more common than we realize.

First, it is nearly impossible to prove you didn’t do something. The only way you can even get close is if the seeding didn’t take place anywhere near to where the rain storms occurred. We need more information before finding him guilty.

The amount of silver iodide used by this company could not possibly have produced that amount of extra water to make the river rise almost 30 feet. It would have taken most of the US Air Force to disperse it. The government has been doing cloud seeding since the Vietnam War. Sometimes stuff just happens.

The seeding was done southwest of San Antonio. The flooding was northeast of San Antonio, and the river flows south. As West Texas has been in a drought for 5 years, it does not speak well for the results of rainmaker's efforts.

Oh boy...he's in a lot of hot water...pardon the pun....our government has been using cloud seeding since 1946 or so....and I'm sure the "Green Scam"people in charge are losing their financial base...now that President Trump has cut off the funds...poor Kerry the man who sold out his military buddies to congress...and shot himself in the foot so he could go home on a medical free pass....then he ran for president...and his buddies turned on him ...and he lost...so the democrats gave him the "Green Scam" pay out for service rendered....

I always pay attention to what's MISSING or what's NOT reported---but should be. SOMEBODY or SOME GOVERNMENT ENTITY ordered the seeding and hired Rainmaker. To me, it's curious that there's all kinds of information about the CEO of Rainmaker but there's basically no mention about whether it was a State or Federal GOVERNMENT agency that hired him and why. My questions are not meant in any way to assign blame or connect the Rainmaker seeding with the tragic flooding. I'd just like to know why basic government information appears to have been withheld and why.

It strikes me that building camping grounds on land prone to such severe flash flooding would not be a thing. Which leads me to believe this type of flooding had not previously occurred there. Then, all of a sudden, it did.

Oh, good grief, #38! Flooding--including severe flash flooding--is ALWAYS possible in ALL river bottoms (and, in fact, in all low-lying areas), and yes, floods have happened many, MANY times on the Guadalupe. In fact, there's a canoe stuck way, way, WAY up in the top of a tree along the Guadalupe (Gee, I wonder how that got there!),
This is no different from people building homes on barrier islands and right on the coast. In those locations, you have to expect that eventually you and your property will be endangered by Mother Nature (and if you don't expect it, you're a fool).
