Trump and the ALABAMA hurricane threat…
During an Oval Office briefing Wednesday, Trump displayed a map of the National Hurricane Center forecast for last Thursday that showed Dorian could track over Florida. The map he displayed included what appeared to be a hand-drawn half-circle that extended the cone of uncertainty over a swath of Alabama.
Trump had raised eyebrows and drawn an emphatic fact check from the National Weather Service on Sunday when he tweeted that Alabama, along with the Carolinas and Georgia, “will most likely be hit (much) harder than anticipated.”
He appears to be doubling down on the clearly incorrect weather prognostication..
And now on Wednesday, Trump displayed the graphic with the alteration that suggested the storm could have tracked over Alabama.Trump had no explanation for who had altered the map he displayed in the White House.But he told reporters, “I know that Alabama was in the original forecast.”..
