Trump surprised to hear about tropical storm threatening Gulf Coast<\/p>\n

0:42<\/p>\n

\n As Hurricane Isaias approaches the Gulf Coast, all eyes are on how it will impact one of the biggest games of the college football season.\n <\/p>\n

\n The storm could make landfall Saturday, hours before No. 2 Georgia plays No. 6 Alabama in Tuscaloosa in a game that President Donald Trump is planning to attend.\n <\/p>\n

\n While the storm could prompt other schools in the region to cancel games, change kickoff times, or even move games to other locations, Alabama said \u201cthere are no plans to alter the contest\u201d in a statement<\/a> Wednesday evening.\n <\/p>\n

\n \u201cWe will continue to observe conditions throughout the week and remain in communication with the Southeastern Conference office, as needed,\u201d the statement read.\n <\/p>\n

\n When asked whether the storm will change his travel plans to Alabama, Trump said, \u201cWe\u2019ll have to see.\u201d\n <\/p>\n

\n Team officials offered few details on contingency plans if the storm were to intensify.\n <\/p>\n

\n \u201cIt\u2019s uncertainty beyond my control,\u201d Georgia coach Kirby Smart said, according to the AP. \u201cI\u2019m focused on trying to prepare our team and game plan and scheme.\u201d\n <\/p>\n

\n Even if the game goes on as planned, meteorologists predict players and spectators may feel some effects of the storm.\n <\/p>\n

\n Heavy rain and gusty winds could make for a soggy, blustery Saturday evening in Tuscaloosa.\n <\/p>\n

\n A faster-moving storm could allow conditions to improve before or during the game, but that\u2019s not the most likely outcome right now. The timing will be key.\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Trump surprised to hear about tropical storm threatening Gulf Coast Trump surprised to hear about tropical storm threatening…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":925308,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[43,26791,44,41,39,42,40],"class_list":["post-925307","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-headlines","tag-headlines","tag-hnk","tag-news","tag-top-news","tag-top-stories","tag-topnews","tag-topstories"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/925307","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=925307"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/925307\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/925308"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=925307"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=925307"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=925307"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
