Commerce Secretary Threatened to Fire Weather Forecasters, NYT Reports

VOA News

   U.S. Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross threatened to fire top weather
   experts for contradicting President Donald Trump's faulty forecast of
   Hurricane Dorian striking Alabama, The New York Times reported Monday.

   While a very early forecast map by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric
   Administration showed a slight chance Dorian would sweep across
   Alabama, all revised forecasts said the state would see no impact from
   the storm.
