UPLOADED these Hurricane Dorian/SharpieGate documents--more than 1,000 pages--to Google Drive as @documentcloud is failing.
Here's a link and here's one email from the cache: drive.google.com/file/d/1wj3_UV… pic.twitter.com/QfkzInyENN

WOW. These emails underscore how angry NOAA officials were about the Hurricane Dorian tweets by Trump and how NOAA handled and responded to the controversy (and sharpiegate).
"You have no idea how hard I’m fighting to keep politics out of science..."

These NOAA emails
The weeklong controversy over Trump's comments abt Hurricane Dorian & Alabama & Sharpiegate took a toll
"People across agency are hurting...not just those
directly involved. Some employees have lost their minds I
fear. Trying to maintain calm and focus"

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

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"

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.

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
