ROBINS AIR FORCE BASE, Ga. (AP) – President Donald Trump is marveling at the hurricane damage he’s seen while touring devastated Florida Panhandle communities.
Trump and his wife, Melania, visited a FEMA aid distribution center Monday in the city of Lynn Haven. People there were signing up for temporary housing and picking up clothing, diapers, water and other supplies. Trump says someone described Hurricane Michael to him as being “like a very wide – extremely wide – tornado.”
He also marveled at how massive trees were “just ripped out of the earth.” Said Trump: “This is really incredible.”
The president and first lady also help distribute cases of bottled water and chatted with residents.
President Donald Trump then traveled to Georgia to survey damage by Hurricane Michael.
The president and first lady Melania Trump arrived at Robins Air Force Base on Monday afternoon. State and local officials were to brief the president at the base.
