But this was a category five hurricane when it made landfall, I believe it was category four. So, you know, it was a massive hurricane as an approach.

Yeah, so that's right. But what happened when Helene hit North Carolina, it was not a cat four. What happened is, as that storm moved inland, it hit the mountains and the first mountains it hit are on Western North Carolina. That area is elevated, there's mountains there. So when a heavy hot storm runs into cold mountains, all the moisture dumps out.

So when a heavy hot storm runs into cold mountains, all the moisture dumps out.

It's like it runs into it and suddenly everything precipitates out of that storm. And that's why some parts of Western North Carolina got like 18, some people measured as high as 30 inches of rainfall in a couple of hours. So this insane dumping happens when that hot air hits a cold region and suddenly everything, all that warm moisture precipitates out and dumps to the ground.

So it ran into a mountain. It's effectively why everything fell out of North Carolina.

Who did it, Sachs?

Well, isn't there a lot of geoengineering conspiracy theories going on in your cohort? I don't think so.

Well, isn't there a lot of geoengineering conspiracy theories going on in your cohort? I don't think so.

There's a lot of theory online that there's a ton of late geoengineering being run by government agencies to drive these storms.

Are you Alex Jones? Is that what we're doing? Well, no, I'm not saying Alex Jones.

OK, so so let's just talk about the hurricane.

Yeah. Putting particulates in clouds to accelerate precipitation. is, I mean, we've done that for a hundred years. You know, you can do, you can increase the precipitation rate when there's already clouds that have formed, but that has nothing to do with creating 200 mile an hour wind speed.
