Original Note:
On October 6, the National Hurricane Center accurately predicted Milton would intensify to a major hurricane over the Gulf of Mexico. https://updates.emergency.ufl.edu/2024/10/06/tropical-storm-milton-update-2-10-6-24/ The account, context, and loaded question promote the conspiracy theory that weather is controlled for political gain. That's impossible. https://www.politifact.com/factchecks/2024/sep/27/instagram-posts/hurricane-helene-was-not-a-product-of-weather-modi/ https://apnews.com/article/weather-control-climate-change-hurricanes-cloud-seeding-735eaed734e132d6260ee94701c72d5e
