Some Hawai‘i residents view Governor Josh Green not merely as a suspicious figure, but as a potential suspect in the use of cloud seeding operations across the state. They argue that the patterns surrounding recent disasters resemble the circumstances of the Lahaina catastrophe on 8/8/2023, suggesting a repeated modus operandi in which extreme weather becomes a convenient explanation for large scale destruction.
From this perspective, Hurricane Dora served as the official justification for the tragedy in Lahaina, while the recent Kona Low system—responsible for flooding in Waialua and other northern O‘ahu communities—raises similar concerns. Kona Lows are rare but powerful events, with the last major one occurring in 2018.
Science acknowledges their rarity, yet their impact on Hawai‘i is undeniable. Supporters of this theory emphasize that cloud seeding is a real, documented weather modification technique capable of enhancing precipitation. Meteorologists agree that cloud seeding cannot create a full monsoon—since monsoons depend on largescale atmospheric and geographic forces—but they also acknowledge that cloud seeding can intensify existing weather patterns.
A Kona Low, with its strong southerly flow, deep moisture, and unstable atmosphere, can already produce monsoon like rainfall. Under this view, combining cloud seeding with a Kona Low could dramatically amplify rainfall. This line of reasoning leads some to believe that the recent flooding across Hawai‘i was not entirely natural but may have been intensified intentionally.
From their standpoint, the sequence of events suggests that Governor Josh Green may have played a role in initiating cloud seeding activities that contributed to widespread flooding across the state. In March 2026, a Kona Low brought record rainfall—up to 46 inches in some areas—triggering severe flooding, road closures, evacuations, and widespread damage.
The storm’s slow movement and deep subtropical moisture intensified the impacts, reinforcing concerns among residents who believe Governor Josh Green may have influenced conditions that contributed to a level of flooding for which Hawai‘i was unprepared.
