Plain Language Summary: False stories about weather and climate can spread faster than a storm itself. For instance, if social‑media posts claim a hurricane is weaker than official forecasts, some people may decide not to evacuate. Our project investigates who starts these intentional falsehoods, how the rumors travel through online networks, and what harm they cause. We focus on Hurricane Helene (2024), where misleading posts slowed emergency actions. By examining FEMA’s “Rumor Control” website, we will sort claims into categories and evaluate how or if the correction page appropriately addressed the disinformation campaign.
