I would not normally take issue with a resident, but this is clearly a case where you do not know your information. The annual rainfall for Louisiana can be found from 1895 to 2023 at https://www.extremeweatherwatch.com/states/louisiana/average-precipitation-by-year. If you plot it out, the weather history is extremely variable, with differences between successive years being as much as a foot or greater in precipitation in either direction. The statistics over this interval are a mean rainfall of 57.125 inches and a standard annual deviation of 8.628 inches. Recent rainfall has declined from 67.0 in 2020 to 43.4 in 2023. But the range of annual values varies nearly randomly from 40 to 75 inches throughout this very long data interval. There is no trend. You are due for an uptick in the next year or so. (Just as it was at 43 inches in 2011 and jumped to 62.9 inches in 2012.) So, there is no "screwing with weather" in Louisiana, and no rainfall changes that are not commonplace in a history of over 200 years.
Ah, data...the great slayer of a self-imposed myth.
We were considered to be in a drought last year. I've lived here my entire life - 59 years - and the last couple have been considerably drier than normal. Despite the data base, we are receiving way less rain than usual.
Whatever they are doing is screwing with weather in Louisiana - no where near the amount of rain we normally get.

This guy seemingly pops up in every weather or chemtrail thread boasting his credentials.
“Don’t believe your eyes and intuition! The numbers! The science!”
Thank you!!! Yeah, data can be manipulated. My garden and skin know the truth lol
