Does the State of Texas’ Weather Modification program impact storms in the Gulf?

I hope anyone in the way of the impending storm in Louisiana is safe and out of harms way.

According to the “State of Texas’ website”: https://www.tdlr.texas.gov/weather/weathermod.htm, focused efforts to produce additional rainfall using cloud seeding are widespread in much of West and South Texas during the growing season, which extends from early spring until autumn each year. In fact, areas where cloud seeding is concentrated covers about one-sixth of the land area of Texas. The seeding is done primarily for rainfall enhancement using aircraft and sophisticated weather radar data. Decisions to deploy aircraft and disperse seeding materials (both silver iodide and salts) are made by trained meteorologists licensed by TDLR specifically for weather modification.

Does cloud seeding have any impact on hurricanes that come through the Gulf?
