“If one squinted into Cabeswater long enough, in the right way, one could see secrets dart between the trees. The shadows of horned animals that never appeared. The winking lights of another summer’s fireflies. The rushing sound of many wings, the sound of a massive flock always out of sight. Magic.”

-Maggie Stiefvater, The Raven King

Trump tweeted this statement earlier this week, which incorrectly included Alabama in the list of states that would be impacted by Hurricane Dorian:

This error was quickly addressed by the National Weather Service & the correction was picked up by the news: 

Of course, Trump couldn’t handle being corrected by meteorologists on the fucking weather so:

As someone who took two years of meteorology let me just say that a big concern regards mass panic when issuing weather alerts and warnings. You don’t want people unnecessarily leaving - jamming up the roads or putting themselves at risk (sometimes the safest thing to do is to stay put esp. if the roads are at risk of flooding), you don’t want confusion, and you definitely don’t want people to lose confidence in the weather warnings where they no longer take them seriously. And it doesn’t really help the cause when the fucking president of the country can’t issue a simple correction that HE WAS WRONG because of his fragile fucking ego.

Update: this fuckin guy is STILL going on about this

Also if you look at this photo it’s literally dated August 2 and Trump’s tweet was sent September 1 so this only further proves he gave out incorrect information after the fact so like… cool?

No words for the victims yet but at least he’s keeping up his beef with the goddamn National Weather Service. 

Well if y’all can believe it, this story actually gets even weirder…

So earlier today Trump actually DISPLAYED AN ALTERED MAP IN AN OVAL OFFICE MEETING:

You see that line going into Alabama? Well…

President Trump on Wednesday displayed a map that he said reflected Hurricane Dorian’s original path, but the image appeared to be manually altered with a marker to show the storm’s trajectory continuing toward Alabama.
Trump later told reporters that he did not know anything about the changed map, but was adamant that original forecasts called for Alabama to be impacted by the hurricane. (x)

y’all i’m done

This post has everything, hurricanes, sharpies, alabama, a pathological lying reality show host as president

That doesn’t even include the rest of it - his administration cautioned NOAA and the NWS not to contradict him, because the tweet from the NWS in Alabama tweeted that the storm wouldn’t impact them. The NOAA issued a statement that included Alabama. He’s literally censoring science regarding natural disasters to be right.

For real y'all the conclusion to this story was that NOAA issued a statement to NWS-Birmingham basically going "you don't speak for us, we're with the President" .... even though the president was literally wrong and NWS was right. 😑
