nwhhc sercive terminated as of today

#1 Postby Derek Ortt » Tue May 25, 2010 8:12 am

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

Congrats Derek. I understand the 'constraints' that your new position can put on forecaster. We will miss you and the valuable input you have provided over the years. Hopefully you can make an appearance from time to time.

Major CONGRATULATIONS Derek. I know you have worked hard for this and now it is coming to fruition.

MAJOR THANKS are in order also. You have been an integral part of the growth of STORM2K over the years. Hopefully your new position will not stop you from posting here. I hope in the future maybe you can bring nwhhc back up. It was a great resource for many of us. And thank you for the many things you have taught many of us over the years.

Thank you for helping us all out Derek, your analysis has been so helpful since I've been here. Congratulations on your new job!

Are you able to tell us what company hired you? The timing sure is good, one week before the season begins...talk about a crash course in the new job!
