Many users shared their thoughts on Megyn Kelly's question.
"Exactly! It’s some scary stuff! After the floods from hurricanes Ian & Nicole in my East Central Florida neighborhood, my neighbors & heir children were out in our flooded parking lot playing in that filthy disgusting water like it was an instant swimming pool or lake or something. It had to have contained pesticides, fertilizers, petroleum products, animal feces & who knows what else," a user wrote. "We took a sample and analyzed it: 58% H2O...12% Urine (unclassified)...8.6%...Fecal matter (unclassified)...21.4% Fentanyl," another netizen responded. "Packed with minerals, probiotics, and effervescence," one user reacted.Many users reacted to Megyn Kelly's post, sharing their concern about the risk of electrocution in trains surrounded by water.
"It’s not just in the water… this is a subway railway system that uses HIGH VOLTAGE electricity to power the trains..Once the water hits an open electricity source… BOOM … Electrocution!!!," a user wrote. "If that water is on the tracks, would it be electrified?" another user commented.Meanwhile, some netizens held the man-made cloud seeding responsible for the situation.
"Cloud seeding AGAIN?...Sounds possible...Some people were seeding clouds in Texas a day before the horrible flooding of the Guadalupe River," an internet user wrote. "I hate to push conspiracies, but could manmade geo-engineering be a contributing factor to the huge rise in floods this year?...The global cloud-seeding market is estimated to be valued at over...$150-million this year alone," another user commented.
Overall, reactions were mixed. While some expressed concern about the deplorable situation, others blamed the city's infrastructure for the havoc.
