We HAVE to trust weather forecasts about deadly weather!! Will supporters be shocked awake?!?

People who've lived through tornadoes KNOW many people would be dead if we hadn't gotten accurate info about path and strength of storm in time to take action.

We CANNOT afford to have some egomaniac and his enablers playing with the data we need to prepare to protect ourselves, our families, our neighbors, and our communities.

This is such a major action---I don't see how his supporters who have lived through deadly storms and KNOW the importance of accurate and timely info can continue to support him.

They now KNOW his actions can kill their children.

As they do with everything else.

They will believe that it was going to hit AL and that the media is wrong.
