You're calling people uninformed, they say
Nope, that was 1816 as a result of the eruption of Mount Tambora in Indonesia

According to google:
There has been an increase in major flooding events in the last 10 years. Several sources indicate a rise in the frequency, intensity, and cost of flood-related disasters. This increase is linked to factors like rising sea levels and heavier precipitation, both influenced by climate change.

No, not in situations that caused the Texas floods.
I remember the May 1995 floods in and around NOLA. At my house in Lakeview at the time I received over 25 inches of rain in less than 24 hours. Tulane received 24 inches. The highest recorded from that event was 36 inches in Lacombe. The rain clouds just kept training and training off the Gulf and dumping on the NOLA area.
No man-made weather modifications were necessary.

"Majore flooding" events are more frequent as a function of population increase and poor planning. The volume of water that nature once retained to prevent downstream flooding is not accounted for in many instances when subdivision or shopping malls are built over virgin land. Need more retention ponds.

Shawn Ryan had a guest on roughly a month ago who owns a company that does exactly this all over the world. Pretty fascinating interview. They have definitely made some pretty big advanced. Are they creating natural disasters? I'd like to think they are not.

I am OT educated and learned here that the big underwater volcano eruption (Tonga) a few years ago added 30% water vapor up into atmosphere. Predicted impacts at the time were temporary spikes in global temps and increased rainfall.

Google record highs in most American cities and you will find most record highs were between 1910 to 1920. Yet if you listen to people on the news, they say it's never been hotter and is due to man made pollution.

Boomers need to realize that they're just old and there's a lot of stuff they don't remember anymore.
Also, maybe we're just more in tune with what is going on nationally than 47 years ago. 47 years ago, you wouldn't have heard about the floods, 10 minutes after it happened on X, like you can today.

Conservatives believe in weather modification causing disasters, but not science-backed climate change. Make it make sense.

I believe our government and others have tried to manipulate weather, but have had very little impact.
Do you think technology has advanced over the last 48 years?
Why was it necessary for the Florida senate to approve a ban on geoengineering and weather modification just this past April?
ETA: The fact is that the technology is there and more than likely very advanced beyond what we peasants are being told. The question is, do we trust the most powerful people on the planet to responsibly use (or not use) that technology.

Surprisingly accurate forecasts compared to just 20 years ago. Its not perfect but its way better than it was just a short while ago.

You heard the term cloud seeding once and immediately ran with the most bat shite conspiracy theory didn't you

No for one cloud seeding has never been used in Florida as there's really no need for it. Cloud seeding mainly helps dry areas and places facing droughts not places that are well known for hurricanes and storms. Secondly this bill does nothing but solve a problem that didn't actually exist in order to pander to the crowd that thinks the government controls hurricanes

there is limited evidence as to the effectiveness of cloud seeding. In other words, they’re not 100% sure that it actually works.
They were cloud seating that area until July 2 and stopped because of the moisture level in the air.
I would say that it worked really well except for the disastrous unintended consequences, which is what you usually get when you mess with mother nature.

Would you seriously rather believe in the false idea of machines creating the weather than climate change?

I keep waiting on someone to blame Biden and illegal immigrants.

People rather disagree with 99% of scientists about man man climate change simply because it's too difficult to admit they've been duped by politicians who receive money from oil companies
