Trump Doctored Hurricane Dorian Map to Back False Claim That Alabama Was in Its Path
« on: September 04, 2019, 08:51:08 pm »


Quote
President Trump on Wednesday displayed a map that he said reflected Hurricane Dorian's original path, but the image appeared to be manually altered with a marker to show the storm's trajectory continuing toward Alabama.

Trump later told reporters that he did not know anything about the changed map, but was adamant that original forecasts called for Alabama to be impacted by the hurricane.

...

Trump tweeted Sunday that Alabama could be among the states affected by Dorian. But the National Weather Service in Birmingham tweeted a short time later that was not the case, and that the hurricane system would remain too far east.

A friend of mine shared this news with my on Instagram and I thought it was a joke...he insisted it was real and I had to google it to make sure.

Lol. It's still funny. I just can't believe The White House would go through the trouble of using a Sharpie on an official map to avoid being wrong.

Here is a clearer picture of the original NOAA/NWS map:



It clearly shows that the predicted path would cross Florida, which didn't happen, and that if Dorian didn't magically disappear, it obviously would hit the Florida Panhandle and Alabama. Note the date, which is readable in this picture. Obviously, also from the map, Dorian took a hard right turn at Albuhkoikee and its eye didn't even hit Florida (though I'm sure there was plenty of wind and rain).

All in all, this is a micro-tempest in search of a nice roomy doll house teapot.

Sunny Hostin (The View) suggests Trump could be charged with felony for claim on Hurricane Dorian's path

Rightfully, they had a little fun with this act of stupidity.

He would probably have been OK if he just said, "Look, I don't want any State to fall through the FEMA Preparation cracks.  I included Alabama in an abundance of caution."

Making a stink over a weather map is just the latest in a long series of silly attacks.

This OP is reassuring. It’s definitive proof that Trump has so enraged the Left that it broke their brains. They are actually hoping that cone-gate will rouse Trump voters to anger and have them running to vote for the democrats.

Well, if anyone were sitting on the fence about Trump, this effort to use a weather map as proof he’s unfit to lead should certainly have them running...to vote for Trump/Pence 2020.

That's "New," as in not a retread.  But I get the point.

As far as I know, Alabama was never considered to be in Dorian's path.  What I suspect happened is that Trump meant to say "Georgia" since Georgia was indicated early on as possibly in Dorian's path.  But rather than admit he made a mistake, Trump, or someone else on his behalf, altered the official weather map.

Guess again, Sparky.

@Right_in_Virginia This story is off-the-wall ridiculous.  MSN material.  I wonder why it was even posted?  I guess we do get a look at the latest batch of extreme bias, so there's that.

Obvious if you didn't look at the multitude of models that showed it turning north.  But if you just guessed with no real knowledge, you might guess Alabama.

Did you notice that the source of that map was NOAA and the National Weather Service?

Did you notice that while one edge of the Day 4-5 possibility cone did bend somewhat northward toward South Carolina, the other edge had Dorian possibly going into the Gulf of Mexico?

Did you notice that the NOAA/NWS map did not include in its possibility cone what Dorian actually did, turn NE away from the US entirely?

If you want to call what someone drew on Trump's map a "guess" it was based on the map provided by NOAA and the NWS, not "no real knowledge".

Absolutely right @PeteS in CA . My memory is bad these days but not so bad that I can't recall that forcast.
