Derek Ortt wrote:To the members of the S2K forum

Service at nwhhc.com has been terminated effective immediately. I have accepted a position with another company as a hurricane forecaster with a tentative start date of June 14. As such, nwhhc.com service has already been terminated. The home page has been replaced with a page thanking you all for your support.

Since I have accepted this position, my posting here may also been limited, possibly terminated. I am not certain of this yet and will let you all know as I know more information.

Thank you all for your understanding

Derek Ortt


But, But, but whos gonna make fun of Charlie Weiss, hate the gators, love who ever wins the Mountian West, and send people off to Concentration camps now? :lol: :wink: ..

Congrats and GL..

Congratulations on the job, Derek!

And thank you for all you've contributed here over the years. I hope you will be able to come around from time to time, even if not with the frequency and detail of analysis we've become accustomed to.

I can't really anything that has not already been said.
Good luck in your new position and we really hope you can still add your wisdom to S2K. You were the first Pro Met I read here and were an instant voice of reason. I will always remember reading your analysis of Jeanne refuting the conventional wisdom that she would turn which made no sense at all yet no one else had the "stones" to disagree with the forecast. You stuck to your guns and had it pegged.
Thank you again for all you have provided here. If you end up unable to post here, you will be sorely missed.

Derek,

I've been reading you since you were a student way back when. I'll miss your passion and the human element you have always included in your forecasts as well as your accuracy.

Best of luck to you,

Windsong (Denise)

Congratulations, and well....crap. Your forecasts have become so much a part of my Florida living experience that my friends and family simply ask me "what does Ortt say?" every time that there's a storm that might threaten us.

Good luck, you'll be missed.
