Rainmaker CEO Says Cloud Seeding Paused Before Deadly Texas Floods

Company suspended operations one day before National Weather Service issued flash flood warning

Rainmaker’s CEO, Augustus Doricko, has confirmed his company conducted a cloud‑seeding operation over south‑central Texas on July second but proactively suspended activities that same afternoon—prior to the National Weather Service issuing a flash flood warning.

He stated that internal meteorologists halted operations due to unusually high atmospheric moisture.

Experts and official sources have dismissed any link between the brief cloud‑seeding mission and the historic floods that followed from July fourth onward.

Meteorologists noted that the floods resulted from natural weather patterns augmented by the remnants of Tropical Storm Barry, and that cloud‑seeding techniques cannot generate rainfall on such a scale.

Texas regulators also halted cloud‑seeding when atmospheric conditions triggered flood alerts.

Authorities confirm that Rainmaker did not operate in the affected zone on July third or fourth.
