"What are the chances of 2 freak storms right before an election? This is not even close to a normal-looking storm," said a social media user claiming human influence on Hurricane Milton.
Republican Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene stated, "Yes, they can control the weather," which contributed to the widespread belief that the storms were man-made.
Scientists debunked claims of human manipulation by explaining that the shift Hurricane Milton experienced, called an eyewall replacement cycle, is a normal occurrence in powerful hurricanes.
NOAA has predicted above-normal hurricane activity this year, stating, "We have had unlucky stretches before with back-to-back storms," emphasizing the natural occurrence of hurricane patterns.
