Raleigh’s Floods: Unnatural Disasters or Human Steering?
Raleigh, North Carolina, is underwater—again. Creeks overflow, roads close, and lives are lost as flash floods pummel the region in August 2025. This isn’t just a local story; it’s part of a wave of extreme weather hitting Arizona, Texas, Louisiana, and even China’s flood-ravaged provinces. Are these storms natural, or are humans intentionally amplifying and steering the weather? From urgent warnings to global experiments like China’s Sky River, let’s unravel the evidence, voices, and questions that make these disasters feel unnatural.
Raleigh’s Deluge: A Deadly Warning
“Life threatening flash flooding of creeks and streams, urban areas, highways, streets and underpasses. Turn around, don’t drown when encountering flooded roads.”

— NWS Raleigh, Flash Flood Warning, August 6, 2025
On August 6, 2025, the National Weather Service in Raleigh extended a Flash Flood Warning for Northwestern Wake County until 7:00 PM EDT, with up to 7 inches of rain flooding Raleigh, Durham, and Cary. Creeks like Crabtree and Walnut overflowed, roads became impassable, and two people died in Nash County. By August 11, another warning hit, with 1.5–2.5 inches already fallen and up to 3 more expected, flooding Walnut Creek at Rose Lane. Central North Carolina’s 2025 rainfall, 5–8 inches above average, amplifies these storms, but is climate change the only culprit, or is something else at play?

Raleigh’s floods aren’t isolated. On August 14, 2025, Arizona’s Gila and Yavapai Counties faced a Flash Flood Warning as monsoon rains turned washes into torrents. Southeast Texas and Southwest Louisiana, including Newton County, saw severe thunderstorms with flooding risks, following a history of deluges (15.4 inches in April 2024). These events, driven by Gulf moisture and a warming atmosphere, feel amplified, echoing Raleigh’s woes. Could human intervention—like weather modification—be intensifying this pattern?

China’s Sky River Project (Tianhe) is a blatant attempt to steer weather. Covering 5.5 million square kilometers, it uses cloud-seeding chambers and satellites to redirect monsoon moisture to the Yellow River Basin, aiming for 5–10 billion cubic meters of rain. But August 2025 floods in Gansu (195mm, 10 deaths) and near Beijing (4 deaths) suggest misfires. Scientist Lulin Xue warns seeding is unpredictable, potentially flooding unintended areas. Could similar efforts in the U.S. amplify Raleigh’s storms?

Suspicions of manipulation thrive on soft evidence—claims that linger because they’re hard to disprove. These figures fuel the debate:
- Dane Wigington (Geoengineering Watch): Alleges global seeding amplifies floods like Raleigh’s, citing patents and contrails. No 2025 data debunks his claims. [](https://www.newsweek.com/north-carolina-flash-floods-live-tracker-maps-2109958)
- Lulin Xue (Chinese Scientist): Warns cloud seeding could cause unintended floods, as in Gansu. His 2022 concerns remain valid. [](https://www.newsweek.com/north-carolina-flash-floods-live-tracker-maps-2109958)
- William Cotton (Meteorologist): Doubts seeding’s efficacy but warns large-scale projects could disrupt weather, amplifying storms like Raleigh’s. Unrefuted. [](https://www.newsweek.com/north-carolina-flash-floods-live-tracker-maps-2109958)
- Marjorie Taylor Greene (U.S. Representative): Claims on X (Oct 2024): “Yes they can control the weather.” Her vague assertions about 2025 floods persist. [](https://www.newsweek.com/north-carolina-flash-floods-live-tracker-maps-2109958)
- X Users (e.g., @HustleBitch_): Suggest floods are manipulated via tech like HAARP. Unrefuted for lack of data.
Why It Feels Intentional
Raleigh’s floods, alongside Arizona and Texas/Louisiana, feel unnatural. Here’s why:
- Climate Change: Boosts rainfall, with North Carolina 5–8 inches above average in 2025, turning storms deadly. [](https://www.cbs17.com/weather/severe-weather/flash-flood-warning-issued-in-multiple-counties-in-central-nc-national-weather-service/)
- Weather Modification: Texas and Western states seed clouds; could North Carolina’s past experiments amplify floods? No 2025 data rules it out. [](https://www.foxweather.com/weather-news/southeast-braces-more-heavy-rainfall-flooding-threat)
- Secrecy: Opaque weather modification data fuels distrust, as with Sky River. [](https://www.newsweek.com/north-carolina-flash-floods-live-tracker-maps-2109958)
- Geopolitics: Controlling weather could serve strategic goals, as some speculate about China. [](https://www.newsweek.com/north-carolina-flash-floods-live-tracker-maps-2109958)
Food for Thought: Unanswered Questions
Are we steering the storm, or is it steering us?
- Could Sky River’s moisture redirection affect global weather, including Raleigh?
- Are Raleigh’s floods just climate change, or is seeding a hidden factor?
- Why the secrecy around weather modification?
- Could weather be weaponized, as past programs suggest?
- Why scale up risky experiments when scientists warn of chaos?
The Pretty Little Bow
Raleigh’s flooded streets, Arizona’s raging washes, and Texas’s soaked roads form a 2025 tapestry of chaos, amplified by climate change and shadowed by weather modification. China’s Sky River shows humans can steer rain, but at what cost? Voices like Wigington, Xue, and Greene keep suspicion alive, unrefuted in a world of secrets. As Raleigh mourns its losses, the question lingers: are these disasters natural, or are we sculpting the storm? Check X, dig deeper, and question everything.
