#217 Augustus Doricko - Did Cloud Seeding Cause the Texas Floods?

That can happen.

The Shawn Ryan Show
#217 Augustus Doricko - Did Cloud Seeding Cause the Texas Floods?

If we had better flash flood sensors on the Guadalupe, we could have notified people significantly earlier.

The Shawn Ryan Show
#217 Augustus Doricko - Did Cloud Seeding Cause the Texas Floods?

If we had better forecasting- By we, you mean- Not Rainmaker, but the US government, yeah.

The Shawn Ryan Show
#217 Augustus Doricko - Did Cloud Seeding Cause the Texas Floods?

The National Weather Service or local fire departments even, they were trying to warn people earlier.

The Shawn Ryan Show
#217 Augustus Doricko - Did Cloud Seeding Cause the Texas Floods?

I don't know if you heard those phone calls, but that was pretty hard to listen to.

The Shawn Ryan Show
#217 Augustus Doricko - Did Cloud Seeding Cause the Texas Floods?

That's one thing.

The Shawn Ryan Show
#217 Augustus Doricko - Did Cloud Seeding Cause the Texas Floods?

Another thing,

The Shawn Ryan Show
#217 Augustus Doricko - Did Cloud Seeding Cause the Texas Floods?

is I think that although net-net, because of how supportive people have been and receptive to information and earnest dialogue, like in a certain sense, I've developed a lot more faith in the American people and our government.

The Shawn Ryan Show
#217 Augustus Doricko - Did Cloud Seeding Cause the Texas Floods?

I also do know, and this has been pretty upsetting to learn, that there are people, once again, who know

The Shawn Ryan Show
#217 Augustus Doricko - Did Cloud Seeding Cause the Texas Floods?

that cloud seeding and Rainmaker and I had nothing to do with these floods, who despite knowing that are trying to find a way to pin the blame on me in some sort of investigation or otherwise to drum up political support or get the heat off of them.

The Shawn Ryan Show
#217 Augustus Doricko - Did Cloud Seeding Cause the Texas Floods?

Obviously, that'd be inconvenient, but I have nothing to hide.

The Shawn Ryan Show
#217 Augustus Doricko - Did Cloud Seeding Cause the Texas Floods?

So yeah, I think that the overwhelming amount of evidence that we've provided that any meteorologist can corroborate, that any atmospheric scientist or hydrologist or otherwise can look into, even any individual person, just look at the timeline and the facts.

The Shawn Ryan Show
#217 Augustus Doricko - Did Cloud Seeding Cause the Texas Floods?

I think that it's all pretty clear that there's nothing that we did that could have affected this.

The Shawn Ryan Show
#217 Augustus Doricko - Did Cloud Seeding Cause the Texas Floods?

That said, if it came down to it, yeah, fine, sure.

The Shawn Ryan Show
#217 Augustus Doricko - Did Cloud Seeding Cause the Texas Floods?

I am happy to provide any information should there be an investigation.

The Shawn Ryan Show
#217 Augustus Doricko - Did Cloud Seeding Cause the Texas Floods?

I will happily engage with authorities as is necessary, should they so choose.

The Shawn Ryan Show
#217 Augustus Doricko - Did Cloud Seeding Cause the Texas Floods?

So for one, I would say that the information that we have reported on already from our meteorologists does prove that.

The Shawn Ryan Show
#217 Augustus Doricko - Did Cloud Seeding Cause the Texas Floods?

Now, beyond just what we've reported on our flight tracks, on our flight times, on the amount of material dispersed, on the clouds that we seeded and how quickly they dissipated, on the dissipation of the aerosols and the fact that we only dispersed 70 grams, like eight to 10 skittles worth of material, a day in advance of when the flooding began.

The Shawn Ryan Show
#217 Augustus Doricko - Did Cloud Seeding Cause the Texas Floods?

Despite all of that, I think that is 100% proof unto itself.

The Shawn Ryan Show
#217 Augustus Doricko - Did Cloud Seeding Cause the Texas Floods?

If we were to do more,
