Im sorry to see that they are loseing Max Mayfeild. You could always count on him not to beat around the Bush and just give you the facts.
Two Days before Katrina hit he had his ducks in a row and told everyone from the Mayor to the Gov. and the president what was going to happen in New Orleans. I could see that he was very disturbed when his pleas fell on deaf ears and indecision by the leadership.
Personally I took what ever Max said to heart during Hurricane Season. He knows his Science, I hope his replacement will be as good as he was.
