    He did comment that this was the original report from 4(?) days ago. So I don't think he is actually falsifying a report that would impact anyone. That being said, this is fucking crazy and as was mentioned earlier very Orwellian. WTF?

    The maps only go 5 days into the future.

    Alabama theoretically could have been, say, a Day 9 target on that old map . . . if you simply imagine that line cutting through Florida continuing on a WNW track. But the NWC stops at 5 days because the error factor is so great beyond that.

    Canada(!) is in the cone today. It wasn't a few days ago . . . because it was more than 5 days into the future.

    Won't anyone from sj.com/sec give the Alabama thing the Finebaum treatment?

    And . . . it's perfectly reasonable for someone last week to believe Alabama might be affected (a few days beyond the cone).

    That's all the idiot had to say. "It looked at one point last week as though the storm might be headed that way."

    Projected track looked considerably different the first time Trump invoked Alabama.

    Probably but maybe not; no idea, but perhaps between October and next spring; nobody fucking knows.

    I'm not sure there's anything scarier than a fucking moron in a position of great power with a pathological inability to admit mistakes.
