They Want Us To Say
Hillary Has The Rightful Claim To The Presidency
But They Won't Admit Hillary Would Have Been A Disaster

Why are meteorologists around the USA upset now that the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration has declared that Alabama was indeed in danger from Hurricane Dorian? Who's right? The NWS, NOAA, or the person who ordered the NOAA to say so?

An opinion with which I agree....

"The timeline and evidence are clear. The NWS was right, as are the understandably outraged meteorologists.

Everyone should be outraged that a service which warns citizens about life-threatening e*****e w*****r events has had its credibility undermined not only by the President, but by the politically motivated non-meteorologist management of the NOAA.

The briefing given to Trump had no indication that Alabama was remotely at risk. There was a very low potential in the days before the briefing that a tiny slice of Alabama might be impacted, but that wasn’t included in Trump’s briefing. At no point would Trump have been told Alabama was at risk.

Trump made a mistake in his tweet. He was wrong. Unsurprising.

The NWS has a duty and it carried it out. It tweeted immediately that Alabama was not at any risk and pointed out which states were. That’s its job, to be accurate.

Trump doubled down on his mistake, as he always does. Facts are irrelevant to him. Especially compared to his ego.

The NOAA management tweet statement throwing the NWS under the bus was damaging to the credibility of a safety-critical, empirically oriented, science-based organization. That’s just wrong on multiple levels.
Trump and the NOAA management are in the wrong. The NWS was/is in the right."

You may have had more detailed info Slatten but from what I first saw, the storm was predicted to go across Florida's mid-section through Orlando. That would have put it on path to go into the Gulf and then a threat to Alabama would be a logical conclusion.

Instead Of Being Upset
Trump Made A Simple Comment Of Concern For Americans
Based On NOAA Computer Models Of That Day
You Should Be Out Raged Computer Models
LOOK LIKE PURE GUESSWORK
Because None Of The Projections WERE CORRECT For Another 5dys

And Where Is The Video Evidence That Shows It Was Trump That Altered The Map ??

Nope. The biggest danger to the US is the complacency and laziness of Americans that allowed Trump to get elected in the first place. And look at what the democrats have offered up for the next e******n. They're even worse than Hilary. Except for Biden.

slatten49 Loc: Lake Whitney, Texas

I can agree with that. But, Biden (if elected) would hit eighty years of age and that (IMO) is too old for the office.

slatten49 Loc: Lake Whitney, Texas

You are right, C-L. My uncle in Jacksonville originally dismissed the early forecasts as they didn't include that NE Florida seaboard city. He told me it would cross into the Tampa Bay area...far out of concern for his area. Within 24 hours, that dramatically changed. Insofar as those early forecasts were concerned, I would agree with EMarine's later/above posting.

I feel sorry for Biden. IMO he's not a bad guy and I don't like the way people are attacking him. I agree its old for the office. Look at pictures of Obama and how he aged in 8 years. It takes a huge toll on anyone.

I still have hope that a good candidate will step forward. One that will put us first. Its a dim hope but its still there.
