Kentucky floods falsely attributed to cloud seeding

The article from MSN discusses the misinformation surrounding the recent floods in Kentucky, which some social media users falsely attributed to cloud seeding, a weather modification technique. Experts and officials, including the Kentucky Division of Water, have debunked these claims, stating that cloud seeding was not used in the area during the time of the floods. The article explains that cloud seeding involves dispersing substances into clouds to encourage precipitation, but it does not cause catastrophic flooding. Instead, the flooding was a result of natural weather patterns, specifically heavy rainfall from a stalled weather front. The piece also highlights the dangers of misinformation, noting how it can mislead the public and detract from understanding the real causes and impacts of natural disasters.
