Tropical Storm Threat Churns Planning for Georgia-Alabama Game with Trump Set to Attend
- President Donald Trump stated Wednesday he will "let the hurricane determine" whether he attends the Alabama-Georgia game at Bryant-Denny Stadium on Saturday as Tropical Storm Isaias approaches Alabama.
- Tropical Storm Isaias is expected to develop into a hurricane over the weekend, threatening landfall near Mobile Bay with winds potentially gusting to 50 miles an hour and torrential rain.
- Trump claimed he "hadn't heard about a hurricane" during Wednesday's press conference, later saying he did not want to "take the focus away" from emergency responders, while Alabama-based meteorologist James Spann called the situation a "nightmare."
- Spann suggested moving the game is "clearly on the table," though Alabama officials have not announced changes; the SEC continues monitoring conditions before making a final decision on the matchup.
- Past severe weather has forced the SEC to reschedule high-profile games; officials currently maintain Saturday's schedule while balancing safety concerns with the significance of this undefeated matchup.
