Cloud Seeding CEO Faces Death Threats After Denying Links to Texas Floods

โ€˜Rainmaker did not operate in the affected area on the 3rd or 4th or contribute to the floods that occurred over the region,โ€™ said CEO Augustus Doricko.

Employees at a cloud seeding company have received death threats and calls for vandalism after the firmโ€™s chief executive officer tried to show how its rainmaking operations had nothing to do with the recent flooding disaster in Central Texas.

Augustus Doricko, 25, CEO of Rainmaker Technology Corporation, took to X on July 8, tagging the social mediaโ€™s safety account and head of product, Nikita Bier, stating, โ€œour address and pictures of our office were doxxed yesterday and the posts are still up despite being reported. Who can I talk to in order to remove this?โ€

Several hours later, that question appeared to remain unanswered.

โ€œRainmaker is still receiving threats despite my explanation on X,โ€ Doricko told The Epoch Times in an email received just before 6:30 p.m. ET on July 8. โ€œWe have asked the platform to intervene on certain posts and will continue to explain the truth behind our operations in Texas to clear up any misunderstandings with the facts.โ€

Rainmaker conducted a scheduled cloud seeding operation on the afternoon of July 2 in Karnes County, Texas, which is more than 150 miles southeast of Kerr County and downstream of the Guadalupe River and all other affected rivers.

However, accusations quickly arose across social media, attempting to connect Rainmakerโ€™s activity with the floods, including one inquiry from Gen. Mike Flynn.

โ€œThe natural disaster in the Texan Hill Country is a tragedy,โ€ Doricko said in response to the general on X on July 5. โ€œMy prayers are with Texas. Rainmaker did not operate in the affected area on the 3rd or 4th or contribute to the floods that occurred over the region. Rainmaker will always be fully transparent.โ€

Dorickoโ€™s company suspended all cloud seeding operations once its forecasters identified the moist remnants of Tropical Storm Barry making their way into the state. He has repeated multiple times that weather modification had nothing to do with the disaster, and that stance has been echoed by politicians like Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) and weather experts.

โ€œThe claim that cloud seeding played a role in this tragic event is complete nonsense,โ€ said Andrew Dessler, director of Texas A&M Universityโ€™s Texas Center for Extreme Weather.
