Rep. Chuck Edwards, a North Carolina Republican, sent a letter to his constituents debunking the misinformation and conspiracy theories that have spread in the aftermath of Hurricane Helene, telling them, “Nobody can control the weather.”
Edwards, who represents western North Carolina, which was devastated by Hurricane Helene, urged his constituents not to believe everything they see on social media and noted there’s been an increase in “untrustworthy sources trying to spark chaos by sharing hoaxes, conspiracy theories, and hearsay about hurricane response efforts across our mountains.”
“Hurricane Helene was NOT geoengineered by the government to seize and access lithium deposits in Chimney Rock,” Edwards said, adding that there is no technology that can geoengineer a hurricane and local officials confirmed the government is not taking control of the town.

Edwards last appeared here in September 2023 when he moved to defund states that have legalized weed because it supposedly causes “suicidality, IQ loss, psychosis, and schizophrenia.”
Edwards, who unseated Madison Cawthorn in 2022, first appeared here in 2021 when as a North Carolina state rep he authored the successful repeal of gun permit requirements.
