Experts like Daniel Swain, a climate scientist, and other meteorologists underscore that cloud seeding does not create new storms or large-scale weather patterns. Instead, it can only augment pre-existing moisture in clouds by a small percentage. During the Texas floods, the rainfall was colossal—up to 4 inches per hour—and the floodwaters surged rapidly, phenomena that are well within the realm of natural weather patterns, especially in flood-prone areas with soil and terrain conducive to rapid runoff.
