Summary: Hurricane season continues until December, with experts warning of potential late-season storms. The 2024 Atlantic Hurricane season has already caused significant damage, leading to ongoing discussions about the science behind hurricanes and the spread of conspiracy theories regarding their origins.

Some conspiracy theorists, including public figures, claim that hurricanes are government-manufactured weapons. They allege that programs like HAARP are used to control weather patterns, despite scientific evidence debunking these claims and explaining the natural processes behind hurricane formation.

While cloud seeding and other methods exist to influence weather, they do not create hurricanes. Historical attempts to control hurricanes have been unsuccessful, with experts stating that the energy and conditions required to manipulate such storms are currently beyond reach.
