      Hurricane Dorian–Alabama controversy

      On September 4, 2019, in the Oval Office, Trump displayed the National Hurricane Center’s August 29 diagram of Dorian’s projected track. The diagram had an oddly misshapen line, apparently drawn with a black marker, which added an additional lobe to the cone of uncertainty of the hurricane’s possible path which included southern Alabama. Public reaction ranged from mild skepticism to derision; Trump said he did not know how the map came to be modified.
