End For Proenza
Via Steve Bates of Yellow Doggerel Democrat in comments CNN is reporting: National Hurricane Center director leaves position
(CNN) — National Hurricane Center director Bill Proenza has left his position, CNN has learned. Sources say Proenza is still employed with the center, but the nature of his new position is unclear.
Deputy Director Ed Rappaport has been temporarily placed in charge.
Proenza, 62, became the director in January after the retirement of Max Mayfield.
Hopefully the soap opera is over and they can get back to work.
