Two days prior to a devastating flood in Kerr County, Texas, Rainmaker engaged in cloud seeding by dispersing silver iodide. Following the flood, which claimed 135 lives, including children, conspiracy theories emerged linking Rainmaker's actions to the disaster. Accusations were quickly dismissed by independent scientists, who emphasized that the company's cloud seeding could not account for the extensive rainfall that led to the flood. The flooding was severe, with rainfall reaching four inches per hour and the river rising dramatically in a short period of time.
Rainmaker's actions during cloud seeding could not have produced anywhere close to the amount of rain that triggered the flood, according to independent scientists.
The storm produced rainfall of up to four inches per hour, causing the river to rise by 26 feet in under 45 minutes.
