NHC NWS director in Tampa

Posted by andy (magnifico) on 5/15/2008, 7:30 pm

Hi all,
just returned from my annual seminar in Tampa for marine insurance professionals. Was suprised to have the following speakers: Dr. Ming Ji, Director NWS, Ocean Prediction Center, David Feit, COO NOAA (both down from Maryland) and Chris Burr of the NHC in Miami.
I say surprised because it was a smallish seminar, about 90 of us, so someone asked why they agreed so readily to come down from Maryland and their answer kinda amazed me; it was "we jumped on this immediately because we had never before been asked to address anyone from the insurance industry"

Does anyone else find that somewhat astounding about the insurance industry?

On another note, after all day in classes (7:30 am till 6 pm) and no nightly news for a couple days i am immenesley saddened to watch the news tonight and hear of the horribly mounting death tolls, Myomar and China.

Best to all.......
andy
