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.

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.
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.

That requires an extraordinary amount of energy, all of this energy, but the oceans are like giant batteries. And when a hurricane gets going, that battery is accelerating the hurricane, and the hurricane sucks up more power from the battery, and it creates this incredibly dynamical system. There is no human-created energy system that can form a hurricane.

A hurricane is an extraordinarily powerful natural phenomenon that arises from the amount of energy that can come out of very, very, very hot oceans, relatively speaking. So that's really where these hurricanes are coming from. Now they're going to be more frequent if the ocean temperatures remain elevated as they seem to be and continue to be elevated.
