As southern cities clean up the remnants of Hurricane Helene, several Republican lawmakers have also been tasked with cleaning up misinformation spread by some of their fellow GOP colleagues.

Shortly after Helene made landfall last month, inaccurate claims began to spread online about how the storm originated and whether it could target certain communities. Among those spreading the unsubstantiated claims was Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA), who suggested the hurricane was targeting areas with predominantly Republican populations.

“Yes they can control the weather,” Greene said in a post on X, without clarifying who “they” is in reference to. “It’s ridiculous for anyone to lie and say it can’t be done.”

The post sparked rumors online about whether Democrats can control the strength of hurricanes and the path of which they travel, prompting GOP lawmakers representing cities affected by Helene to correct the record.

“NEW FLASH —> Humans cannot create or control hurricanes,” said Rep. Carlos Gimenez (R-FL), who represents Florida’s 28th Congressional District spanning the southwestern Miami area and the Florida Keys. “Anyone who thinks they can, needs to have their head examined.”

Rep. Chuck Edwards (R-NC), whose North Carolina district was also hit by the storm, even went so far as to issue an extensive press release debunking a slew of inaccurate claims about Hurricane Helene, including a blurb noting that “nobody can control the weather.”

“Charles Konrad, director of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s Southeast Regional Climate Center, has confirmed that no one has the technology or ability to geoengineer a hurricane,” Edwards wrote. “Current geoengineering technology can serve as a large-scale intervention to mitigate the negative consequences of naturally occurring weather phenomena, but it cannot be used to create or manipulate hurricanes.”

Although there have been previous NOAA projects to experiment with weakening existing hurricanes, those efforts ended decades ago — and large storms such as hurricanes cannot be artificially created by humans.

HAARP, Infrared lasers, cloud seeding, all have been the subject of research for decades in weather modification. In fact, there is an initiated measure in my county this election to abolish cloud seeding (weather modification).

Keeping in mind that weather has played pivotal roles in battles in the past, from the Kamikaze winds, to the typhoon the US fleet went through in WWII, the military was/is interested in being able to generate storms which would interfere with an enemy's troop movements, and possibly cause devastation to their forces.
