The skies over Texas were overcast two days before the devastating flood. A coincidence?

A private weather modification company sprayed the sky in Texas just days before the flood.

Just days before the most catastrophic flood in Texas history, a private weather modification company called Rainmaker performed cloud seeding directly over the affected region.

Now, the company's longtime CEO, Augustus Doricko, has confirmed the flights — but insists the flooding that followed is nothing more than a coincidence. According to Doricko, Rainmaker sent its plane out on July 2 over south-central Texas, with the goal of "enhancing precipitation" through targeted cloud seeding — a process that sprays silver iodide particles into the atmosphere to stimulate rainfall.

The company, which boasts of its mission to “steward nature,” reportedly shut down operations later that day due to already high levels of humidity in the air. Just two days later, historic floods ravaged the same region, leaving over 60 dead (119 as of press time) and entire towns submerged.

Doricko insists there is no connection between Rainmaker’s activities and the deadly flooding. In a statement on social media, he expressed sympathy for the victims but dismissed any causal link between the cloud formation and the subsequent flooding. “We didn’t fly after July 2,” Doricko said. “We weren’t involved in anything that could have caused this.” But critics—and increasingly, the public—don’t buy it.

The timeline is impossible to ignore. Cloud-seeding flights on July 2. Flood warnings by July 3. Then, by the Fourth of July weekend, massive amounts of rainfall fell across the Hill Country and surrounding areas, causing dams to burst, washing away homes and killing dozens. For many, the idea that all of this was a “coincidence” is not credible—especially when the entire goal of Rainmaker’s business was to increase rainfall in an already storm-prone region.

Meteorologists and the press and media have been quick to dismiss the connection. Experts quoted in publications such as The Houston Chronicle and Scientific American insist that cloud seeding could not have caused such widespread flooding.

But here’s what they don’t explain: Why did a private, unregulated weather modification company spray the sky just two days before this deadly flood? Why did Rainmaker—a company backed by powerful interests, including Thiel Fellowship funds—choose to operate in a region already prone to heavy rain? And why do federal agencies continue to work with private companies engaged in weather manipulation, without disclosure, consent, or oversight?

Rainmaker founder Doricko is not just a tech entrepreneur. He’s a Peter Thiel Fellow, awarded $100,000 by a billionaire whose empire includes Palantir, the defense and surveillance technology company with deep ties to government and intelligence agencies. He’s also connected to former President Bill Clinton. That alone raises serious red flags about who’s influencing the weather and why.

Whether you call it weather modification, geoengineering, or just another elite-funded experiment, one fact remains: the skies over Texas were clouded over just two days before residents drowned in record-breaking floods. Coincidence? Or something far more calculated?
