A Storm Is Brewing At NHC

Hurricane center director says he's not resigning despite staff revolt MIAMI, Florida (CNN) -- The embattled director of the National Hurricane Center said Friday he has no plans to step down despite a petition from his staff calling for his ouster. (CNN)

When a new manager takes over an operation, there will be changes and upheaval, especially when the manager was liked as well as Max Mayfield supposedly was. Clealy, there is some upheaval, but with hurricane season in full swing, you do not want the public face of the Center to be in the middle of a pitched battle for respect from his forcasters.

With that being said, I suspect that Commerce will not replace him, which could lead to mass resignations. Neither, it seems is a good situation for NOAA or the public to be in.
