Announcements could be heard on loudspeakers.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>The evacuation triggered pandemonium as masses of people milled about on the grassy mall, uncertain if they should leave or try to wait it out. At one point, someone said \u201cmic check\u201d on a stage, and many who were already streaming out turned around to take up their spectator spots again, but it was false hope. <\/p>\n<p>Trump tried to make out that the bad weather was a good development, insisting, \u201cStorms bring luck to whatever the occasion.\u201d He promised to deliver his speech, even if it happened at 2 a.m. \u201cIt\u2019s Saturday night, LET\u2019S HAVE SOME FUN even if we are out late.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>He reminded people: \u201cI\u2019m leaving the White House soon.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>As of 9:10 p.m., Freedom 250 said the president would speak at 11 p.m.<\/p>\n<p>The National Park Service first issued a weather evacuation alert around 7:15 p.m., asking fireworks visitors to follow directions from park rangers, law enforcement personnel, and other event staff as they sought shelter from the weather.<\/p>\n<p>About 20 minutes later, Freedom 250 organizers escalated the alert, telling attendees to immediately evacuate the event grounds and seek temporary shelter in nearby buildings.<\/p>\n<p>The warning came as thunderstorms could be heard nearby.<\/p>\n<p>Visitors were directed to buildings including those housing the departments of Commerce, Education and Agriculture, the Internal Revenue Service, Voice of America, the Thomas Jefferson Memorial, as well as the Ronald Reagan Building, the National Museum of American History, the National Museum of Natural History, and the National Museum of African American History and Culture.<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/nationwideinterstatemovers.com\/?p=2861\">Khaki-Wearing White Supremacists Crash Trump\u2019s July 4 Party<\/a><\/p>\n<p>It was the latest major glitch in a series of setbacks at the Freedom 250 celebrations that began with a notably sparse attendance at the lackluster Great American State Fair, and a potentially deadly heat wave that forced the temporary closing of the event Friday afternoon until 5 p.m. <\/p>\n<p>Washington, D.C.\u2019s National Independence Day Parade on Saturday was also canceled due to an Extreme Heat Warning, with organizers citing projected heat index values between 110 and 115 degrees.<\/p>\n<p>It wasn\u2019t immediately clear if the evacuation was expected to be lifted in time for Trump\u2019s speech or for the fireworks, but the president posted on Truth Social at 9:05 p.m. to assure fans that he would be there. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe will wait it out, I don\u2019t care if it\u2019s 2:00 O\u2019Clock in the morning, or in one hour from now,\u201d he said. \u201cLooks like it is going to pass, they always do. I will be there no matter what, but the \u2018what\u2019 usually turns out to be a good thing. It\u2019s Saturday night, LETS HAVE SOME FUN, even if we are out late tonight. They say 11:00 O\u2019Clock for the speech. Who cares???\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Officials vowed to keep the public up to date. The Daily Beast reached out to Freedom 250 and the White House for any updates.<\/p>\n<p>National Park Service documents warned that the planned fireworks display, reportedly involving some 850,000 explosives, could cause \u201chazardous pollution\u201c and trigger respiratory distress and other health impacts.<\/p>\n<p>The largest pyrotechnic display in history will include some 850,000 fireworks in a roughly 40-minute show that was scheduled to start at 10:30 p.m. or 11 p.m. Those watching the fireworks were encouraged to wear face masks.<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/nationwideinterstatemovers.com\/?p=2859\">Diamond Dealers\u2019 Jaw-Dropping July 4 Gift to Trump Exposed<\/a><\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n<\/article>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>An immediate evacuation order was issued Saturday night for Salute to America, President Donald Trump\u2019s much-hyped July 4th bash on the National Mall, due to severe weather.
