An adviser to Donald Trump said Thursday he briefed the president about the possibility of heavy winds in Alabama from Hurricane Dorian.
WASHINGTON – In the fifth day of a flap over the path of Hurricane Dorian, the White House released a statement from a homeland security adviser who said he briefed President Donald Trump about the possibility of heavy winds in Alabama from the storm hours before the president warned the state about rough weather.
"The president's comments were based on that morning's Hurricane Dorian briefing, which included the possibility of tropical storm force winds in southeastern Alabama," Brown wrote. Brown's statement did not address the altered forecast map that the president held aloft on Wednesday in an effort to explain his warning to Alabama. Instead, Brown said that the president also reviewed"spaghetti model" maps that included a wider range of potential paths for the storm.
During the day, Trump tweeted out old weather maps that also showed Alabama may have been vulnerable to the the fringes of the storm.Story continuesTrump tweeted out maps developed on Aug. 29 and 30. He tweeted about the threat to Alabama on Sunday, Sept. 1, by which time maps showed that the storm had changed course.
