Max Mayfield NHC Director

I am deeply disturbed by this storm. All interests in Cuba and Florida need to watch this very carefully over the next few days. B4P, keep up the excellent work. :thumbup

Finally. The season from hell is less than a half hour from ending. I cannot believe what we the forecasters and you the citizens have gone through the last several months. I'd like to thank Ed Rappaport and my staff. What a job they did! Without their work hundreds of thousands could have died in the wake of one of these monster storms. I'd also like to thank members of MarlinsBaseball.com like, Beinfest4Prez, CapeFish, PBMarlin, RossInfoMan, Moneyball, and the rest, the informative threads you provided kept all of MarlinsBaseball.com updated on these violent storms. Finally, the local media, you brought a new meaning to "Up-to-the-minute coverage" with your nonstop newscasts that went on the air days before the storm and went off days after. Hopefully next year will not be as bad as many of us have predicted. As for me, I look forward to spending the next month with my wife, catching up on much need sleep, and other leisure activities. This is Max Mayfield, over and out. See you next year!

I know I'm legit.

Man people are avoiding the game threads like the plague nowadays...are people just saving up energey to come out strong opening day next season? Most people I speak too including Bob Simpson have told me they avoid threads you post in. Plus, game chats > game threads

Going for the Marlins: Moehler 6-10, 4.03 Going for the Braves: Thomson 3-5, 4.80 7:05 p.m. ET TV: FSN | Radio: WQAM 560, WQBA 1140 (Sp.) Max's Forecast: Marlins 6 Braves 4 Game MVP: Juan Pierre Tonight's game is important because: The Fish can clinch a .500 season I don't appreciate this, Bob.

Good job Jack the kid needed it.

More than 50 games this year inwhich the O has scored 2 runs or fewer. Think about it we win half of those games and we're the best team in baseball.

Got to jet, have to go on the air with those bozos in Channel 4 in 7 minutes. 955154[/snapback] They should be interviewing me! 955170[/snapback] Behave yourself you hurricane. 955542[/snapback] Be quiet you feeble old man. I happen to be a powerful and sexy hurricane bigger than most US states. It's my hot water, I'll do what I want. 955592[/snapback] When I combine my mindpower with Ed's we can defeat you you well-organized hurricane. You are just a mass of swirling clouds. Remember: One atomic bomb in the one-eyed monster and we save the US billions in damage. Behave yourself, now.

It's very nice to get recognition and be considered a 'Celebrity'. Got to jet, have to go on the air with those bozos in Channel 4 in 7 minutes. 955154[/snapback] We are on TV so much we must be considered celebrities. Ed, fan mail to your name is unbelieveable. We had to rent another P.O.D. to store it ( :o ). I might be invited to the Oscar's next year.

TW, although it is worth watching. Never in the recorded history of the Atlantic basin has a storm formed so far south (10 degrees north) in July. Not many storm form that far south PERIOD. But this is 2005 and I wouldn't be surprised if a storm forms so far south. Link

I've played violent videogames all my life, and look at me...turned out just fine. Maybe they should make videogames about street cleanups and donating sandwiches to the Salvation Army... 850868[/snapback] Or flying a C-130 into a Cat 5 hurricane... Violence in video games is so over-rated.

Very impressive thread.

Hey TW, is there any way you can post an animated water vapor loop?

I believe it starts at 8. To answer UMFan's question, Ichiro is no longer participating. Hee Seop Choi is replacing him. 850786[/snapback] Choi was always in...and he is from Korea, not Japan. 850833[/snapback] South Korea.

Well, this thread is pretty much ruined. 850803[/snapback] no, its fine, ill keep editing in new maps and things like that into the first posts, the images there are self updating. You can keep comming in, the latest stuff if right there on page 1. 850830[/snapback] I agree. TimeWrecker is doing a very good job. Lets actually talk about this storm from now on.

I must back up my colleague. Hey Cape, You've got aout 150 members in MarlinsBaseball.com that can't stand your bogus hurricane site. Leave the hurricane forecasting to the pros. They are the "Crapfish Club".? :thumbup Regards, Max Mayfield, NHC Director Ed is a teriffic forecaster and one of the best in the business. 850773[/snapback] To the fake NHC director, Ed grandstanded on Tampa television that morning and did only 1 TV appearance at all that A.M. on Fort Myers TV. The storm then quickly made a turn and where was the NHC? Not available because he was booked. The mets on TV here did play-by-play, without support of the NHC, for the entire duration of that day. The NHC didn't protect us during Charley. The investment by Waterman and Fort Myers Broadcasting did. People here know that and that is why the mets here had to calm down people after the storm who wanted the NHC to explain just why they did not do their job when it came to explaining the storm data. 850804[/snapback] What the hell were we supposed to do? Jeez people whine for the stupidest things without knowing the inner workings of the NHC. We have a busy schedule. We actually have to do work. We had a communications break down. If we could have done that day again things would have been done differently. No reason to hate Rappaport. He's a quality guy and I'm sure we regrets how things were handled last year.

I believe it starts at 8. To answer UMFan's question, Ichiro is no longer participating. Hee Seop Choi is replacing him.

I agree with my colleague on this one. This is one storm you should definately keep an eye on. 850506[/snapback] Hey Ed, You've got about 150 people in Charlotte County still hunting for your head after your morning TV whoring on August 13, 2004. They are the "Krappaport Club." 850649[/snapback] I must back up my colleague. Hey Cape, You've got aout 150 members in MarlinsBaseball.com that can't stand your bogus hurricane site. Leave the hurricane forecasting to the pros. They are the "Crapfish Club". :thumbup Regards, Max Mayfield, NHC Director Ed is a teriffic forecaster and one of the best in the business.

I'm rooting Andruw Jones. His swing is built for the Home Run Derby. I expect a show from this kid.

If it follows the current track this thing we be ripped apart going over Hispanola. Good new for the eastern seaboard but bad news for those poor Hispanolans. Hopefully this thing doesn't develop but that's wishful thinking.

I agree with my colleague on this one. This is one storm you should definately keep an eye on. 850506[/snapback] Glad you joined us Ed. Anyword on when the latest computer models will be run?
