Storms Force Evacuation of National Mall Ahead of President Trump's America 250 Speech

Severe weather conditions led federal officials to order an evacuation of the National Mall during the nation's 250th birthday celebrations. The gathering storms disrupted plans for a scheduled rally and speech by President Donald Trump. Spectators were forced to leave the area as weather emergencies moved into Washington shortly before the event was set to begin. Despite the evacuation orders at the National Mall, the President continued to prepare for his Independence Day address commemorating the historic anniversary.
