Claim check

From the day's Comms chatter

Published 4:00 AM Central

What's going around

Florida's Election Day flooding was 'weather warfare' engineered to keep voters from the polls.

Spreading on X, from Nov 2 (a commentator's post and others repeating it)

What the record says

Weather Meteorologists told AFP the rain was natural; Gulf and Atlantic moisture can do it without a storm.
Voting AFP: a Nov 3 state order moved 24 polling places so flooded residents could vote.
Official Florida's Secretary of State called weather-manipulation claims conspiracy fodder.

Bottom lineFalse. Natural heavy rain.
