What is the chance that two very large and powerful hurricanes hit the same area within 13 days of each other? Look at the landfall areas of Tampa Bay, Sarasota, Siesta Key, Longboat Key, Anna Maria Island, and other barrier islands in that area of Florida.
The locals lost their homes, condos, and their possessions that they had worked a long time to build and accumulate within 13 days of two unimaginable disasters. These possessions are now buried in tall mountains of rubbish temporarily housed on a large vacant lot near the Tamiami Trail in Sarasota.
Nobody can
say that the Tampa Bay area was not prepared. In 2009 they had developed
Project Phoenix, a four-module plan to “address the challenges of response and
recovery during a catastrophic event in the Tampa Bay area. Hurricane Phoenix,
a fictitious storm, was created to simulate the effects of a worst-case
scenario in the region; a direct strike from a Category 5 hurricane. A
10-minute video describes the scenario using realistic weather reports and
archived video footage.” Project Phoenix

The problem
is that nobody is willing to address the elephant in the room. How did two such
powerful hurricanes, within 13 days of each other, happen to hit the same areas
with similar intensity? Is it a coincidence? I don’t believe in coincidences. Was
it that Mother Nature had gone rogue, or the right variables of water, heat, cold,
and wind aligned and created such devastations twice in the same places?
The Internet
was quick to squash the conspiracy theories about the “two historic hurricanes,
and [blasted] the large amount of disinformation about nonexistent weather
manipulation technology.” Fact
check: Debunking weather modification claims | National Oceanic and Atmospheric
Administration
NOAA wrote, “No technology exists that can create,
destroy, modify, strengthen or steer hurricanes in any way, shape or form.
All hurricanes, including Helene and Milton, are natural phenomena
that form on their own due to aligning conditions of the ocean and atmosphere.”
But that contradicts the experiment in 1947.
NOAA states in the middle of the website that they are “required
by law to track weather modification activities by others, including cloud
seeding, but has no authority to regulate those activities.”*
In the NOAA Library, Weather and Climate Collections, there
is an extensive list of weather modification activities, defined as “any
activity performed with the intention of producing artificial changes in the
composition, behavior, or dynamics of the atmosphere (15 CFR § 908.1),
activities subject to reporting (15 CFR § 908.3):
1. “Seeding
or dispersing of any substances into clouds or fog to alter drop size
distribution, produce ice crystals or coagulation of droplets, alter the
development of hail or lightning, or influence in any way the natural
development cycle of clouds or their environment;
2. Using
fires or heat sources to influence convective circulation or to evaporate fog;
3. Modifying the solar radiation exchange of the earth to clouds, through the release of gases, dusts, liquids, or aerosols into the atmosphere;
4. Modifying
the characteristics of land or water surfaces by dusting or treating with powders,
liquid sprays, dyes, or other materials;
5. Releasing
electrically charged or radioactive particles, or ions, into the atmosphere;
6. Applying
shock waves, sonic energy sources, or other explosive or acoustic sources to
the atmosphere;
7. Using
aircraft propeller downwash, jet wash, or other sources of artificial wind
generation;
8. Using
lasers or other sources of electromagnetic radiation; or
9. Other
activities undertaken with the intent to modify the weather or climate,
including solar radiation management activities and experiments.”
After reading
this detailed list of activities which must be reported to NOAA, a
non-scientist would wonder, if nobody engages in such activities, how do they
know in so much detail what can be done to modify weather and climate and that
must be reported to NOAA?
Watching an episode of What on Earth? I came across an interesting report about bizarre events that happened on
January 22, 2011, in Australia. Satellite images of meteorological maps showed bizarre
glowing spiral rings over the city of Melbourne, spanning an area of tens of
thousands of miles, reaching all the way to the island of Tasmania off the
south coast. Before these rings appeared, the weather was calm, the longest
drought on record was taking place. After the circles appeared, the area
experienced bizarre weather, torrential rains, funnel winds, and hail.
Scientists thought it was a radar issue; radar combines with
satellite images to create real time weather maps of changing weather across a
specific area. But radar is reliable.
Other circles appeared in other parts of Australia; one
spanned 400 miles. One circle had a white and red eye with a black circle
within the larger circle, with black lines radiating from it. Dr. Mike Pavelec said
that “it looked like a computer glitch.”
Each strange circle that appeared on the satellite maps seemed
to bring extreme weather. “Melbourne had the worst storm in its history, flash
floods, 4-inch hail storms, a month’s rain in 48 hours, and a mini tornado. All
the other areas plagued by intense and long drought also experienced massive,
big thunderstorms, the wettest weather on record.
The question all participants in the video were asking was,
if these circles represented an experimental weather weapon.
The weather war has been on the military’s radar, causing the
enemy to suffer an earthquake, intensifying a storm that struck the enemy, etc.
Jim Marrs, the author of “Above Top Secret,” said, “if you can intensify a
storm and guide it to one place or another, you have the foundation for what has
been known for a long time as a weather war.”
The narrator explained that “the U.S. conducted Operation
Popeye during the Vietnam War from 1967 to 1972, where they would seed the
clouds to make it rain. The military would pump huge quantities of cloud
seeding chemicals into the air above enemy territory in Vietnam. The resulting
downpour turned dirt tracks into rivers of mud, created landslides, impossible
to move vehicles and troops. The monsoon season was extended by weeks,
destroying harvests.” That was decades ago, they now have much more
sophisticated methods.”
And let us not forget the experiment of October 13, 1947,
when an Air Force B-17 plane “penetrated a hurricane 415 miles east of
Jacksonville and dumped several pounds of crushed dry ice into the storm, just
to see what would happen. This was the first attempt to modify a tropical
cyclone by seeding it with freezing nuclei. It was almost the last.”
The experiment was prompted by GE’s Vincent Schaefer’s
discovery that “by introducing dry ice (solid carbon dioxide) to supercooled
water that had not yet frozen, he could induce the water to freeze into ice,” causing
reactions that would change clouds and precipitation. The results were
disastrous as the hurricane made a 135 degree left turn, was strengthening, and
landed in Georgia and South Carolina, causing $2 million in damages and one
death.70th
