Hurricane Man Retires

Max Mayfield, Director of the National Hurricane Center, will ride off into retirement sunset in January, 2007, after 34 years with the Center. He has served as Director since 2000. He will be missed.

Max, like other Directors before him, has continuously warned the issue during hurricane season is not IF the big one will come, but WHEN. He has urged everyone to have a Hurricane Plan, and has repeatedly emphasized that waiting until a hurricane strikes to plan can, and probably will, endanger your life.
