WASHINGTON (AP) — Former top officials of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration are assailing the agency for undermining its weather forecasters as it defends President Donald Trump’s statement from days ago that Hurricane Dorian threatened Alabama.

They say NOAA’s action risks the credibility of the nation’s weather and science agency and may even risk lives.

The AP is full of Obamastuff.

Was yesterday.
Is today.
And will be until the end of the university.

Stuff it, journalists.

I live only 6 miles from the Alabama line. At first we were definitely concerned. After a couple of days we relaxed a bit.

Oops, that’s “end of the universe.”

Although, given our universities, their end wouldn’t be a bad thing either.

STEM, the last bastion of actual logic, is actively being attacked.

I think chess master Trump is provoking the media once again, forcing them to rear their ugly heads. He does this time and time again.. Draws them out for the PETTY FOOLS they are.

“Assailed” all NOLA did was confirm what President Trump said, they did have Alabama in the path of the hurricane early on, heck I watch the Weather Channel they even at some point said that Louisiana might get hit, they had a bunch of crazy scenarios, no one knew where the hurricane would go the models were all over the place..geez these people have NO lives than to wake up in the middle of the night and worry about such stupid sh*t

But playing “chicken little” regarding climate change doesn’t hurt their credibility or threaten people’s lives. Right?

I think Trump looked at - and remembered - a hurricane path projection map on Drudge.

The first two days that Drudge had hurricane maps as his lead story, they clearly showed several projections of the storm going across Florida, into the Gulf of Mexico, and then turning north into Alabama.

90% of the projections went up the east coast.

But, in the first two days, there were clearly projections that went into Alabama, too.

If anybody knows how to recover old Drudge Report links, please send them to President Trump.

I really can't believe the continuing "story" about something that has past.

The bottom line...The President repeated what several weather sources had already said.

The President was right and the media has once again made an a** of themselves.

I gotta be honest.

He should have just dropped it.

Some folks at a party the other day said he reminded them of Humphrey Bogart with the missing strawberries in whatever the heck that movie was with him and Jack Lemon was.

There was another hurricane in the gulf near Mexico that could easily have moved to the USA coastline.

The message: “NOAA, your lack of enthusiasm for the party’s policies has been noted...”

Looks like Trump chose Alabama a a hill his adversaries should die on.

It also looks like they are insisting they do so.

Ah, durian! The fruit that smells so bad that airports have been evacuated when tourists decide to abandon it instead of getting it past customs!

I LIVE IN ALABAMA!

I saw those early models, too. I watched this like a hawk (I replied to NautiNurse early on the FIRST thread).

In fact, those early forecast models, since many of them had shown the possibility of Dorian going into the Gulf (but later taking that big hook North), in my mind clearly shows we need to be vigilant until more data comes in.

I'm glad the President was concerned about us, too.

These people need to shut up. They look silly and stupid to most people.

DRUDGE REPORT is doing all it can to keep the story alive. I rarely go there anymore. He may as well just admit to being a lib.
