That can happen.
If we had better flash flood sensors on the Guadalupe, we could have notified people significantly earlier.
If we had better forecasting- By we, you mean- Not Rainmaker, but the US government, yeah.
The National Weather Service or local fire departments even, they were trying to warn people earlier.
I don't know if you heard those phone calls, but that was pretty hard to listen to.
That's one thing.
Another thing,
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.
I also do know, and this has been pretty upsetting to learn, that there are people, once again, who know
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.
Obviously, that'd be inconvenient, but I have nothing to hide.
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.
I think that it's all pretty clear that there's nothing that we did that could have affected this.
That said, if it came down to it, yeah, fine, sure.
I am happy to provide any information should there be an investigation.
I will happily engage with authorities as is necessary, should they so choose.
So for one, I would say that the information that we have reported on already from our meteorologists does prove that.
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.
Despite all of that, I think that is 100% proof unto itself.
If we were to do more,
