During the 2024 Atlantic hurricane season, a number of conspiracy theories have spread about the nature of the hurricanes and about the post-storm disaster recovery. These rumors have caused significant difficulties for first responders and official recovery workers.

Donald Trump stated that FEMA had run out of funding for disaster recovery efforts, and that the agency had spent its budget on immigrant housing. FEMA has not redirected any disaster relief funding to migrant resettlement, and FEMA has continued to spend money towards relief efforts.

Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene of Georgia's 14th congressional district insinuated in a tweet that the government was using weather modification to influence the path and severity of hurricanes.

Yes they can control the weather.

It’s ridiculous for anyone to lie and say it can’t be done.
