A NOAA spokesperson said earlier path projections for Hurricane Dorian did include possible tropical storm effects on Alabama.
Hurricane Dorian strengthened into a powerful and deadly Category 5 storm before making landfall three separate times in the Bahamas beginning on Sunday. That same day, the president tweeted"In addition to Florida – South Carolina, North Carolina, Georgia, and Alabama, will most likely be hit harder than anticipated."
Media outlets began ridiculing the president about the Alabama claim, and it escalated when he began showing maps of Dorian's projected path outlined in black, with an extended area outlined in white that engulfed the entire Florida peninsula and then another addendum drawn in black that clipped part of southeastern Alabama, just north of the Florida panhandle.
