As you have already gathered, Hurricane Dorian had no impact on New Jersey, but it did have an impact on Nova Scotia. But nowhere did it have a greater impact than in the Bahamas, where it's created a humanitarian tragedy that is the worst crisis in the country's 46 years of independence. And yet Donald Trump is all obsessed about trying to explain why he thought Dorian would hit Alabama - and used a Sharpie on a National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration map to include the state in the cone of uncertainty. But what was certain about Dorian is that Alabama wouldn't be affected.
So while Trump's government denies asylum seekers staying in the Bahamas the opportunity to come here after Dorian made much of the Bahamas uninhabitable, Trump's Commerce Secretary, Wilbur Ross, threatened to fire NOAA staffers in Alabama for contradicting a Trump statement that Trump can't admit was a mistake.
Well, he'd better stop obsessing over the last storm and start obsessing over the next one - a tropical depression that's expected to become Tropical Storm Humberto. Not only will it go over the Bahamas, it will move over Florida and possibly part of Georgia.
Alabama will be fine.

UPDATE: The tropical depression became a named storm, Humberto, but it spared Florida. However, it has since grown to a hurricane that could approach major status and affect Bermuda. :-(
