Snip
The real problem for Trump could be that the last North Carolina rally has sparked a COVID-19 concern when two people in the crowd tested positive for the virus. Because there were 15,000 people at the rally, the health department has simply had to broadcast that anyone with symptoms who went to the rally should be tested.

So it was out of Fayetteville before that.

There is another storm coming but it will be out of Fayetteville with plenty of time to spare.

The news I've read says that today was cancelled and rescheduled for Monday.

President Donald Trump is postponing his Thursday visit to Fayetteville because of a wind advisory and instead will visit the swing state the day before Election Day, his campaign announced.

he's killings us intentionally with his belief in herd immunity... You can't get more broken than that. his king's horses (miller, kushner, pompeo, barr, etc..) cannot put us back together again, because they only seek to destroy us, completely. We must vote, because our lives literally depend on it. he's the malignant cancer in our country, and whatever it takes, we must rid him of our body. I lost my husband to a non treatable cancer in 2002. We have a treatable cancer this time around. Let us all join and vote to defeat and rid us of this trump cancer forever.

A prudent approach was to avoid the storms and possible tornadoes tonight in the general area. But this is Trump, so who knows. I believe they also rescheduled an Atlanta/Rome rally to Monday. Monday will now be very busy for them.

When I got home from work, it took me over an hour to clear my driveway and property of all the tree limbs down. We had power outages and 50 mph gusts. Several wrecks from signal lights being out.
Chance of tornados this evening.
