Nature doing its thing.  Story as old as time.

Quote from: SwahiliSteve on Jul 14, 2025, 11:03 AMY'all see where wildfires have destroyed the historic Grand Canyon lodge, visitor center and other structures on the north rim? No containment on two different fires burning there.

Meanwhile our western slope is a burning mess. South rim fire of black canyon of Gunnison has burned 3556 acres. Black canyon of Gunnison is closed for now which sucks cause I wanted to head up week after next.

If only the Park Rangers had raked around the lodge and visitors' center.

Why don't they just cloud seed over the fires? Are they stupid?

For $7 mil I'll put a webcam in front of my shitter so I can answer fan questions while I drop the Longhorns off in College Station.

Once authored a post that critics claimed, "Was notaslibro level."

right? I mean why are they cloud seeding in the first place. Honestly I don't think they've really mastered the art of cloud seeding from what we've seen.

They wanna say oh it's climate change but fuck...all of ours were from storms where lightening hit

With the amount of rain they have created, I'd say they have mastered the art.

They should have combed the area.

Fire at the Grand Canyon began as a control burn. High winds kicked up and....not so controlled.

Techincally the fire at the Grand Canyon began as a lightning strike.  The National Park Service (aka - Gubment) tried controlling it with a controlled burn and failed.

:thumb_up:  As is normal for a news report. They left the lightning part out. Now I know the rest of the story. Thanks!

I'm a little suspect that this is their doing, but it has been an incredibly wet year around here in west TN. I'm usually on drought monitoring this time of year. But I really don't buy into the seeding stuff. Mother Nature will do its thing and give a big ol FU to anyone trying to to F with it. That said, just stop with it.

First, Im sure it's 100% nature.  I remember 20+ years ago when we moved to Houston thinking it rains all the time.  

It does cause the tinfoil hat to come out when two days before there was a 500 year rain/flood event "they" were cloud seeding in the area.  

It has rained every day in Houston so far this summer.  Crazy how much rain we have received.

I don't think I trust this guy. 

I wouldn't either.  Follow the money...he's making a lot of it from cloud seeding.

How does the seed clouding work. Congress or local governments approve and what type of regulations are on it?

"State funding is no longer available for cloud seeding operations, and current cloud seeding projects are funded in total by local sponsors."
