DUpipo kentuck posted a thread about what
DU-Stoner mal alluded to. And, of course, we have a thread about it. So, this was my response, which is apt here:

Why Alabama??
Why did El Presidente insist on putting Alabama in the path of Hurricane Dorian?
Stipulating that at some point this happened and was not a sarcasm, maps showing the numerous
possible paths of hurricanes based on the numerous models are common. Such as this early map where one model had Tropical Storm (as it was at the time of the map) Dorian possibly hitting Texas:
Or this later one showing Hurricane Dorian crossing Florida, with at least the edges hitting Alabama.
The interesting thing about those two maps is that they show that Dorian basically did a hard right turn in hitting the Bahamas rather than crossing Florida.
Just a further comment, the law they are citing basically applies to meteorologists and TV/radio Weather (Wo)Men (who get their forecasts from meteorologists). Not to non-professionals, like Trump. Otherwise the publishers of the Farmer's Almanac and every person who ever incorrectly said, "Yup, it's going to ______ tomorrow," would be in jail.
Hatred makes people stupid, among other bad stuff.
