The claim that hurricanes are artificially created or controlled by the government using weather modification technologies is a baseless conspiracy theory. Hurricanes are natural atmospheric phenomena governed by complex interactions among ocean temperatures, atmospheric conditions, and wind patterns. Federal agencies, including the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) and the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), emphasize that no existing technology can generate or manipulate these powerful storms. Instead, these agencies focus on research, forecasting, and mitigation efforts to protect lives and property.(1)(2)

NOAA also highlights the increasing frequency and intensity of hurricanes as linked to climate change. Rising ocean temperatures, driven by global warming, provide more energy for storms, resulting in hurricanes with stronger winds and more intense rainfall. This connection between climate change and storm behavior underscores the need for efforts to reduce greenhouse gas emissions to mitigate future impacts.(1)(3)
