Did a weather modification company
mitigate Cyclone Alfred ?
A COMPANY that claims to be able to create or reduce rainfall
with extra low-frequency (ELF) technology, says
it used it to intervene in Cyclone Alfred.
On Tuesday, March 4th, Atmospherica director
David Miles of Toowoomba
posted a public notice on X, announcing that “
as a result of private backers stepping forward
to fund this unique project for coastal Southeastern Queensland
and Northern NSW,
Atmospherica has (at 12 AM, on 04/03/25) commenced
a Tropical Cyclone Alfred intervention …
” to mitigate major weather threats from the Bureau Of Meteorology"
As Cyclone Alfred moved south the BOM warned of damaging to destructive winds,
heavy to intense rainfall/flooding,
storm surges and coastal inundation.
On Sunday March 9 the cyclone was downgraded to a tropical low pressure storm,
but heavy rain persisted almost without break from Sunday to early
Monday morning.
The low pressure system was moving across Bribie Island
north of Brisbane and inland towards the state’s southwest.
Some 300,000 homes were without electricity across the south-east (Qld)
and into northern NSW,
and flooding was widespread.
Lismore, however, managed to keep the rising floodwater contained
within levee walls,
stopping a repeat of the disastrous floods in 2022.
So did David Miles’ ELF technology actually work ?
Cairns News has not been able to contact Miles by phone
but we were able to download his two-page background paper.
We have also emailed some questions to him..
Miles has encountered a great deal of scepticism about his claims,
and was even accused by a Victorian Farmers Federation representative
of being a “snake oil salesman”.
The ABC also ran a highly sceptical report on Media Watch,
citing a University of NSW atmospheric science professor as saying
the technical description of the technology was “gibberish”.
