Not Planned Did government agencies conspire to direct Hurricane Helene to cause damage in the town of Kings Mountain, North Carolina -- to depress the value of properties needed to open a $90 million lithium mine? No, that's not true: This conspiracy is flawed at its foundation -- an expert with the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration told Lead Stories that "no technology that humans have can create, destroy, modify, intensify, or steer hurricanes in any way, shape, or form." Furthermore, the city manager for the City of Kings Mountain, North Carolina, told Lead Stories that while there were citywide power outages and many trees lost, "very few if any homes were rendered un-repairable or completely destroyed" and that no properties in Kings Mountain will be acquired by any public agencies via eminent domain as a result of the storm or its after-effects.The conspiracy was spelled out in a now-deleted one-and-a half-minute long video (archived here) published by @holikela on TikTok on September 30, 2024, with the caption: "Lithium mines and Hurricane helene just aint sitting right with me... #greenscreen #hurricane #helene #weather." It was posted on Facebook on October 1, 2024. The caption on that video was: The connection between the lithium mines in Kings Mountain, North Carolina, the Department of Defense, and Hurricane Helene.This is what the post looked like on TikTok at the time of writing:(Source: TikTok screenshot taken on Wed Oct 2 18:26:15 2024 UTC)In the days after Hurricane Helene made landfall on September 26, 2024,
