I am far from a cloud seeding expert, but when you read cloud seeding in the context of the above you can usually translate that to "chemtrails". The conspiracy theories are enough to make you clinically insane on what the govt is accused of doing. For true cloud seeding I have not seen one report where it caused catastrophic flooding. Maybe it has happened. I don't know. But this event in TX was due to a land falling tropical system on the west coast of Mexico that moved over TX and stalled out. Think Houston a few years ago when some places got 3ft of rain. True cloud seeding is usually done in drought stricken areas in an attempt to get beneficial rainfall to an area. Once the clouds that have been seeded rain themselves out or dissipate, the seed is out of the air.

So to answer your question, I don't see any reason to criminalize the act. Much less make it a felony. Any time we make a post on our storm team facebook page on something like this it's always a matter of time before the loons come out to "educate" us and calling us shills on the payroll of the govt. Trust me, if we were on the govt payroll we'd have a ton more cameras up right now.
I tend to think of weather tech being similar to how fire must have been thought of when humans first started harnessing it. The potential was there to change the world and how humans live in it but many likely viewed it as the devil and that the only humans using it were using it to destroy the world. People fear things that are new and they don't understand. Story as old as time. Hell, that's me with AI.

As humans we just can't control nature. I get we can try and should do as much as we can to mitigate disasters. No matter where you live, there is a possible disaster that can happen no matter how much warning you get.

For example some towns in MS changed the rules on building houses that they must be on 10 foot piers in areas that experienced storm surge during Camille. Katrina washed many of those houses away.

Firing vital personnel (weather specialists) did this.
No other way to spin it.
Lack of personnel to communicate the eminent danger to the public.
Make America a joke again.

It is unfortunate where and when it occurred and to whom it occurred. Sometimes bad things just happen. No amount of preparedness can prevent it. Being prepared helps mitigate the aftermath.
Warned storms come through our area quite often during seasons' change. My wife thinks all of them are THE storm. We live in an area that's certainly overdue for a major event, and most every incidence the past 20 years has been overstated for our area. So, I have become more than a little complacent; however, I always stay aware.

Once again, I love the fact that in a situation where CHILDREN ARE DEAD there is a large component of people who run to blame whatever political boogeyman they hate the moment it happens. No proof. No facts. And to be sure no waiting before using this godawful situation to post **** about how bad the other side is. And to be clear, both sides do this. and both sides are completely oblivious to the fact that they do. Kids are dead. Lots of them. If mistakes were made, they need to be remedied, but for God’s sake.

I really hope this doesnt get political as I would love to hear educated views on the issue. Like @Hugh's Burner Phone.

- Is there a good reason(s) to ban cloud seeding through fines and jail time?
- What are the positives and negatives, and how likely are the negatives going to happen?...like 1 in 1000 or 1 in 3?

To be very clear, I am not suggesting MTG is correct or incorrect. I am using her recent tweet as reference point to ask an experienced SPS poster about the topic in which she tweeted.
I remember when we had intelligent, reasonable and well-read people on my team and not the know-nothings who can't seem to process information and thus resort to conspiracy theorizing when they're just ignorant about something or poorly read.

I hope that independent, serious-minded people investigate this, learn from it and provide solutions that reduce the likelihood of these things happening again. I also hope the parents, friends and loved ones of those who died find some peace and solace soon. There's an unfairness to life that's often hard to deal with and come to terms with.

If she wants to outlaw something that doesn't exist then by all means let her. If that occupies her time it's harmless.

There was no precedent. The Kerrville flood occurred on Friday night while we were sleeping. We had flooding just below the house and in the neighborhood on Saturday night. I had no idea it was going to happen until it started.

That is called flash flooding.

Like clockwork.

The warnings were issued as fast as possible, and having a full staff wouldn’t have changed the speed of which they were issued so come off of your little political rant high horse and look at this a little more objectively and maybe get out of your echo chamber a little bit.
Fact is their was a singular meteorologist in San Antonio whose job it was to be a part of the early warning system is no longer employed and that job is still vacant. He was not fired but he took a package to retire early. Offer me one and I am gone too.

When Trump was asked if there was going to be an investigation into the job cuts contributed to more deaths. Trump abruptly said, "NO." TRUMP WILL NOT INVESTIGATE HIMSELF. Would more people been warned if he had been on the job? I don't know and we will never know unless someone other than Trump is asked because he will never accept being wrong about anything.

Texas has 7 major cloud seeding weather modification programs.
So? But have they seeded recently? This particular even was unpredictable, regardless of staffing levels.

It's possible that the San Angelo office didn't have the experienced personnel that larger offices have, but they don't operate in the dark - offices communicate with each another.

I read where it's 480,000. It's massive and scarier than Godzilla. It's funded by those on the Epstein client list who don't want you to drink raw milk.
No there’s actually only 7. I’m not sure who funds them, but I actually do drink raw milk on a regular basis. Have you ever had any? Super good! Closest thing store bought I’ve found to it is Beason’s milk out of Philadelphia MS.

We just need prayers. Two of our close friends lost their daughters that were in the Bubbles Up cabin. One was 8 years old and the other was 18 years old and one of the two counselors in that cabin. Everyone in that cabin perished. We were in Bertram next to Liberty Hill at our friends farm to pick up our kids at Camp Longhorn Saturday morning. There was just so much rain Friday and Saturday. We couldn't get out of the farm because of high water on both directions. We finally got out of there Saturday around 6pm and friends from Austin pick them up from camp Saturday afternoon.

The Farm had 24 inches of rain from late Friday to mid day Saturday. The lower San Grabriel runs through their farm and it usually is barley moving. It was up 20 plus feet and a raging rapid. Luckily there house is on cliff overlooking it so we were safe. Blackhawk after blackhawk flying over the farm to get to these locations.

We were with 3 other of our close friends who were also doing camp Longhorn pick up. The amount of misinformation that was circulating was sick. Text after text contradicting one another and just **** that was flat our false. Luckily we were in constant contact with our friends who's daughters were missing and they flat out had no idea what was going on. Just didnt know what to believe. That's when we just started discounting anything we heard via text or social media unless it was from a source that we trusted. Just agonizing. We got home yesterday afternoon and went straight over to our friends of the 8 year old. It was 17ing brutal. Amazingly the found her stuffed animal that she always slept with. It will be going with her in the coffin.

They were having the parents of some of the missing doing DNA samples for identification for certain girls that authorities flat our didn't want them to see. It's beyond me how people are trying make this political. If you want to get your *** kicked show up to these places and families who have been devistated and start making it political.

Kentuckydawg. Go 17 yourself.

Yes. The CEO of Rainmaker, Augustus Doricko, admits to cloud seeding missions on July 2nd in the flood area. I posted his X statement earlier in this thread.

The Beasons pasteurize their milk.

There’s zero benefit to drinking raw milk other than increasing your chances of getting a whole host of food borne illnesses.

The same experts in San Antonio told us that the system would move east of Texas by last Thursday. They said it would be hardly a blip by the time it was through.

Yes they do. Beasons is not as ultra- pasteurized as other store bought brands, plus it isn’t homogenized, unlike store bought brands. Btw, if you’re “lactose intolerant” you can drink all the raw milk you want, not to mention cheese, yogurt, butter, ice cream ect. Obviously you don’t know about any benefits, other than what you’ve googled or read.

Lord have mercy. I only have about a dozen friends in the dairy business across the country including the Beasons.

You’re a moron.



CONCLUSIONS​

Raw milk failed to reduce lactose malabsorption or lactose intolerance symptoms compared with pasteurized milk among adults positive for lactose malabsorption. These results do not support widespread anecdotal claims that raw milk reduces the symptoms of lactose intolerance.

The amount of confidence people speak with in dealing with things they know NOTHING about is just astounding.

also, how the hell did a thread about people dying in a flood turn into a discussion about raw milk????

Who here can speak personally to the affects of being lactose intolerant?

Zeus did it. He was mad at Hera and, as usual, became such a jerk.
