    Says the guy looking at the map from the AL hurricane tracking center saying "thas nah uh 'urricane, this is uh 'urricane".

    Oh, and I lived in Japan for over a decade. So...many.

    Cept over there, they're "typhoons".

    Where did you get this doctored image of a video? Looks like something from a liberal troll farm.

    What's funny is that you think this should upset other people as much as it upsets you, when it's not upsetting at all based on the timeline of events and actual maps.

    But, stuff like this is really all the left has, so why take their binky away.

    Go ahead and complain as much as you want.

    There was NEVER a map with the cone into Alabama. You continue to fabricate the myth in defense of something he should have just said oops I didn’t mean Alabama.

    No Instead they tried to cover their mistake with a lie. So yeah that behavior is quite concerning of a leader.

    Really, because I just showed you one you said didn't exist and wasn't a hurricane map.

    Here it is again.

    Imagine what the map would have looked like if the dummy had said that the hurricane was going to hit Colorado.

    Do you get this upset when the local weatherman calls for partly cloudy skies and it rains?

    Faux outrage much?

    There have been many memes about the erroneous predictions of the storms path. Who cares.

    It has already been pointed out to you that this map is showing the likelihood of 40mph winds. There was never a forecast showing Hurricane Dorian hitting Alabama. And the chance of 40mph winds was never higher than 20% — nowhere near the “95%” that Trump claimed.

    The "original" from 28 aug, you mean.

    I'm assuming you guys know that the tracks kept changing for the last week.

    But please, pretend like there was never a possibility of it hitting Alabama, and no one ever brought it up.

    Live in the now.

    No, it's showing the likelihood of SUSTAINED 39 PLUS MPH winds.

    You think the purple shaded area represents 100% chance of only 40 mph winds? Hm?

    Seeing that it looks like they doctored not one but two different graphs (poorly, all they have to fool is their base so it didn’t even have to look real) the narrative should definitely switch to that. But trump being a liar isn’t really news.

    Both images are from the 28th but one of them shows random black lines with no symbol markers on them...
    Curious...

    Not my fault you don’t know what cone of uncertainty is and why that image is absolutely NOT it.

    You can’t even read it. But I bet you think the picture is pretty though. It seems to be the limit of your knowledge.

    Again there has NEVER been a path with the cone of uncertainty in Alabama EVER for Dorian.

    The NHC graphic indicates a 10 to 20% of Alabama being hit.

    Sure, that's why NOAA asked:

    https://www.al.com/hurricane/2019/08/could-hurricane-dorian-make-it-into-the-gulf.html

    Could Hurricane Dorian make it into the Gulf?

    It’s certainly possible that Dorian could come Alabama’s way, but it’s still too early to have any certainty, unfortunately.

    That map shows Alabama had a 5-10% chance of getting 39 MPH winds.

    If you think 39 MPH winds = hurricane, you need to study the topic just a wee bit more.

    The Midwest gets 39 MPH winds on an average Tuesday. Does Trump go live to warn them of the dangers?

    No it doesn’t. It lists a 20% tropical force winds. So NOT a hurricane.

    Find just one image with the cone of uncertainty in Alabama. Just one! I challenge you. And not the one drawn up for Trump with a sharpie.

    Oh and his tweet was Sept 1st.
