access to a sharpy marker changed the official map to include alabama, and that was an extra circle added in in a marker. it was a tweet that the president sent out last sunday that the storm would hit alabama, but government meteorologists were certain the storm would not hit alabama. he now tweeted a map showing the original forecast of the srm's morning of august 28th. trump would not make his claim about alabama until three days later, so this map was out of the date out of time. it's totally reasonable to ask who cares? but it's the president that

keeps alabama in the public eye. president trump authored six tweets about hurricane dorian, and two are about what happened and four are about what didn't happen. another completely avoidable controversy in the same press conference, president trump denies he suggested vice president mike pence stay at golf resort the white house said the idea was a joke. congress returns on monday, the judiciary committee is back early. and then there has been speculation as to the resistance is in the white house, but it has not been revealed.

in the pacific, and this mayenuw the middle of next week, but we will enjoy cooler temperatures for the next couple of dmike, y issue for the commute? >> yeah, you look at the rest of the bay you see a smooth and easy drive from of the sensors, but we are looking at the upper east shore freeway, and the freeway is close, westbound 80, and san pablo avenue, hilltop drive, or further north those are what will get you past that scene. it keeps the bay bridge toll plaza lighter. live pictures, we will end with that and you see this, it's very dark but they are looking for chickens that may have escaped after the crash.
