I just Googled "weather modification". Everyone knows it's a thing. So I don't think it needs to be turned into a "conspiracy" "theory".
I rather think it is scientists pretending to be God. Add incompetency and ingnorance and you get yourself a hurricane going overboard. I don't know. π€·π»ββοΈ Definitely leaning on the side, without having put too much thought into it, of not being an ostrich with my head in the sand to think this was all just a Natural disaster and nature doing it's thing and entirely dismissing the fact that cloud seeding is absolutely a fucking thing...
Only a quickie scan through the following agenciesππ»... One figures anyone can weather modify and seed clouds? And they could get fined only $10 grant if they don't report.

Was it neferious? Hmmm, don't know. Being that I side and intuitively pretty convinced Lahaina was a DEW operation... Who knows!?!
