ANOTHER BIG find in NOAA Dorian emails by @chrisgeidner on P. 563

NOAA's Makeda Okolo: Apparently the President is convinced that Alabama was in the path of Dorian and someone altered a NOAA map (with a sharpie) to convince folks

NOAA's Deputy U/S for Operations: Yep, crazy

After Trump tweeted this about Hurricane Dorian and Alabama, NOAA spox sent this email to Julie Roberts, NOAA's comms director and deputy chief of staff.

#FOIA

FINALLY, some much needed confirmation that the unsigned and widely condemned NOAA statement last September backing Trump on Hurricane Dorian was worked on by Trump appointee Julie Roberts and then acting administrator Neil Jacobs

#FOIA

THIS is yet ANOTHER email from NOAA confirming that a sharpie was used on a weather map at Trump's briefing last September showing Hurricane Dorian was going to hit Alabama.

"Guessing this is the area of uncertainty that his sharpie staffer was drawing"

#FOIA

Email sent to NOAA acting administrator Neil Jacobs, et al, by Louis Uccellini, Director NOAA/NWS, related to Trump/Hurricane Dorian comments: "...The mood out there is pretty ugly. Will make the [Northwest Atlantic] more of a challenge than anyone could imagine"

#FOIA

WOW. This reply by Tim Gallaudet,
Assistant Secretary of Commerce for Oceans and Atmosphere, to Craig McLean, NOAA's chief scientist, who wrote in an email that the Trump admin is "eroding the public trust in NOAA."

#FOIA

In an email, NOAA's chief scientist Craig McLean reacts to the unsigned statement NOAA issued last September backing Trump on Hurricane Dorian and Alabama.

"What’s next? Climate science is a hoax?
Flabbergasted to leave our forecasters hanging in the political wind.
Embarrassed"

My last tweet from the NOAA email cache, released last night in response to my and other #FOIA requests.

Highlighting this email again because it is just so DAMNING and a reminder that this admin will even doctor a weather map if need be
