I don't understand this cloud seeding stuff. And why would they choose to do it in Texas rather than some remote island? I do believe that the climate appears to be changing although I'm not convinced that CO2 emissions are causing it. I'm just finding it hard to believe that there is a deliberate attempt by governments to manipulate the weather, causing harm to their own people.
AED, your post reminded me of how important it is to pray for others - we never know what we might be protecting them from!
I'm glad you all are safe. I remember a storm here east of Lake Ontario took down the very large maple in our back yard in 2010. Such a realization on how fragile and short life can be! Lord have Mercy!
I often wonder if the earths axis’ shifted a bit to cause bizarre weather patterns. Maria Esperanza used to talk about it.
Can't that happen with major earthquakes? Maybe I'm imagining it, but there's something in the back of my mind about a fairly recent major earthquake having caused a slight shift in the axis. Anyway thank God PF and her family are safe. Maybe she can sell the elm tree or have it cut for firewood.

Remember Fukushima--earthquake and tsunami. Apparently according to some scientists the axis did shift slightly because of the magnitude of the quake.
I also remember St Faustina praying the Chaplet of Mercy during a storm: Praying the Divine Mercy Chaplet for Natural Disasters Sep 06, 2017 by Catherine McManamon In the Diary of St. Faustina, Sr. Faustina recounts an experience of how the prayers of the Chaplet of Divine Mercy are powerful amidst great storms. Today I was awakened by a great storm. The wind was raging, and it was raining in torrents, thunderbolts striking again and again. I began to pray that the storm would do no harm, when I heard the words: "Say the chaplet I have taught you, and the storm will cease." I began immediately to say the chaplet and hadn't even finished it when the storm suddenly ceased, and I heard the words; "Through the chaplet you will obtain everything, if what you ask for is compatible with My will." (Diary, 1731) Later that evening, she experienced a vision of the Angel of divine wrath who had been sent to strike the earth. She expressed this experience as being, In the evening, when I was in my cell, I saw an Angel, the executor of divine wrath. He was clothed in a dazzling robe, his face gloriously bright, a cloud beneath his feet. From the cloud, bolts of thunder and flashes of lightning were springing into his hands; and from his hand they were going forth, and only then were they striking the earth. When I saw this sign of divine wrath which was about to strike the earth... I began to implore the Angel to hold off for a few moments, and the world would do penance. But my plea was a mere nothing in the face of the divine anger. Just then I saw the Most Holy Trinity. The greatness of Its majesty pierced me deeply, and I did not dare to repeat my entreaties. At that very moment I felt in my soul the power of Jesus? grace, which dwells in my soul. When I became conscious of this grace, I was instantly snatched up before the Throne of God. Oh, how great is our Lord and God and how incomprehensible His holiness! I will make no attempt to describe this greatness, because before long we shall all see Him as He is. (474) As St. Faustina prayed, she saw helplessness in the Angel and how he could not carry out the just punishment upon the earth. With a great inner power, like she had never prayed before, Sr. Faustina recited these words, Eternal Father, I offer You the Body and Blood, Soul and Divinity of Your dearly beloved son, Our Lord Jesus Christ for our sins and those of the whole world; for the sake of His sorrowful Passion, have mercy on us.
