I think if folks go back to the 10 days prior....a fair number of TV weather experts in Alabama were talking over the impact of the hurricane continuing on into Alabama at a reduced level.

As the Hurricane approached the Bahamas and Florida the tracking forecasts took it across the state of Florida into the Gulf of Mexico and possibly hitting Alabama or, tracking along the East Coast of Florida going northward. Trump as usual was right on his game!!! Media looked like the butt holes they always are!!! Maybe Biden can help them...he thinks Vermont is really New Hampshire or, is it the other way around!!! LMAO!!!

Actually, not true. The long term forecast was the possibility of the storm crossing Florida and having a second landfall from the Gulf of Mexico. It was never speculated where on the Gulf Coast. The long term forecast is no more than conjecture, which is why the NHC only has a five day forecast. Even the NHC says days 4 and 5 are often incorrect.

Someone at the White House ridiculously drew the additional circle in a fit of irresponsibility, probably for political reasons and Trump using what was handed to him. And no, I don't think Trump is so brilliant that he innately knows the direction of hurricanes.
