🤯My last Texas cloud seeding post got 58,000 views. So I kept watching. 👀

And what I found over the next three days I can't stop thinking about.😳

This is GOES-East — the US government's own satellite, operated by NOAA. 22,000 miles up. Photographs all of North America continuously. Zoom Earth just lets regular people play it back. This isn't my camera. 🇺🇸This is federal infrastructure. I'm just watching what they're already recording.

April 1st — I noticed cloud formations building over the Texas Panhandle, the Lubbock corridor, and the Rolling Plains.

 I know that seven TDLR-licensed ground-based cloud seeding programs are permitted to operate in exactly those zones. I know because I pulled the permits. And I know April 1st is the start of their spring season.

I called Friday to get someone on record. Nobody answered.

So I called my sister in West Texas today instead.

"It's been raining all day," she said. 🌧

Can I prove this was cloud seeding? No. And I won't tell you it is. But I'll show you the time-lapse, I'll show you the permits, and I'll ask the question the people who didn't answer the phone won't ask themselves.

What do you think you're looking at? 👇
