But it has to be pointed out, if this storm goes up Chesapeake Bay, it will completely wipe out Smith Island and the surrounding areas, like wipe them off the map.

These are the places where Trump went out of his way to counter argue a report of climate change affecting them. I believe he called the mayor there and said " you'll be fine for a long time" or something to that effect

oops

Correction, had to look it up: It was Tangier Island, and Trump proclaimed it will "be there for hundreds of years"
