President Donald Trump will spend the weekend at Camp David in Maryland with his Cabinet secretaries and their wives.
It’s the second time in a matter of weeks that the president has retreated to the government facility during a storm. He spent the weekend there when Harvey descended on Texas.
Three hurricanes are brewing right now in the Atlantic. Irma is expected to devastate areas of Florida and cause damage in South Carolina and Georgia.
Trump told reporters as he walked to Marine One with the first lady, ‘It’s a really bad one, but we’re prepared at the highest level.’
