Hurricane Dorian- Trump's resort could be in direct path of storm

"Mar-a-Lago can handle itself": Trump's resort could be in direct path of storm

President Trump's West Palm Beach resort Mar-a-Lago could be in the direct path of Dorian, according to the National Hurricane Center's projections. The storm is expected to make landfall in Florida as a dangerous Category 4 storm, meaning there will be maximum sustained winds of at least 130 mph.
Mar-a-Lago is currently closed for the summer season. The historic house, built in 1927, is located on 17.5 acres between the Atlantic Ocean and the Intracoastal Waterway, according to the Palm Beach Post.
Mar-a-Lago has been in the path of major storms before, including 2017's Hurricane Irma, which caused some roof damage and roof leaks.
Mr. Trump told reporters Friday afternoon that it "looks like Mar-a-Lago is dead center" but "Mar-a-Lago can handle itself." He said he was worried about the whole state of Florida.
Mr. Trump canceled a scheduled weekend trip to Poland to deal with the hurricane.

Location: United States

Hurricane Dorian-Kennedy Space Center prepares for Dorian

Kennedy Space Center prepares for Dorian NASA civil servants and contractors at the  Kennedy Space Center  in Florida are bracing for high winds and rain from Dorian. Ahead of the storm, they are securing rocket stages, spacecraft assembly areas and even hauling a 6.7-million-pound mobile launch tower, designed for the huge rocket being built for the  Artemis moon program , back to the cavernous Vehicle Assembly Building for safekeeping. The 355-foot-tall gantry structure, carried atop a squat Apollo-era crawler-transporter, is scheduled to begin the 4.2-mile trip from launch complex 39B back to the protection of the VAB at dawn Friday -- a journey that's expected to take more than eight hours to complete. The VAB was designed to withstand winds of 125 miles per hour without major damage. The highest wind ever recorded at NASA's seaside launch pads during an earlier hurricane was around 115 mph.
