Unfounded rumors linking an extreme weather event to human attempts at weather modification are again spreading on social media. It is not plausible that available weather modification techniques caused or influenced the July 4 flash flooding along the Guadalupe River in Texas.

Florida's Attorney General James Uthmeier jumped in to amplify the misinformation - citing a newly passed Florida law banning loosely defined "weather modification" practices that climatologists say have nothing to do with increasingly severe weather events.

DHS Secretary Kristi Noem addressed the deadly Texas flood, promising to upgrade "ancient" National Weather Service systems for better early warnings.

For the first time since the deadly July Fourth flooding in the Texas Hill Country, Kerr County has no flood advisories or rain in the forecast, allowing search crews to continue their work looking for the bodies of 97 missing people.

Former federal officials and outside experts have warned for months that President Donald Trump’s staffing cuts to the National Weather Service could endanger lives.

Texas forecasters issued a series of early-morning warnings about “life-threatening flooding” along the Guadalupe River.

Organizers accuse the Trump administration of worsening the climate crisis and slashing jobs at federal agencies that offer warnings about weather disasters.

"It's not community to community. It's a national system," Sen. Maria Cantwell said on "Face the Nation with Margaret Brennan."

Some governors and mayors are concerned over how current or potential cuts to agencies will impact how the government can respond in the future to major weather events.

The National Weather Service said the threat of severe weather is low, but some flood warnings are still in effect.
