    Great if only my family would even believe this as opposed to just saying something about FEMA using DEW and HAARP and space lasers to actually create hurricanes to be able to extract lithium or something.

      Interesting to note that although HAARP was originally a joint project between the US Air Force, US Navy, DARPA, and the University of Alaska Fairbanks, since 2015 control was transferred exclusively to the University of Alaska Fairbanks.

    This will be helpful for the communities that have had no power, cell service, or internet for the last 2 weeks.
