Our guest on this episode of Weather Brains is Dr. Ivor van Heerden. Dr. Van Heerden holds a doctorate degree in Marine Sciences and is the deputy director of the Louisiana State University (LSU) Hurricane Center. He is also the director of the Center for the Study of Public Health Impacts of Hurricanes.Dr. Van Heerden was born in South Africa. He created a hurricane modeling program at LSU. For the last decade he has been one of the most persistent voices warning of the inevitable effects of a major hurricane on the Louisiana coast. He was one of several hundred participants at the Hurricane Pam exercise in July 2004. He claims that his warnings during the Hurricane Pam exercise were ignored, which may have contributed to the Hurricane Katrina disaster. He has also taken the Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) to task for their misdesigns which caused the Levee failures in Greater New Orleans, 2005. He has been the focus of controversy from time-to-time, too. For a time LSU told him not to talk to the media, amid concerns that his book, The Storm was endangering federal grant money flowing to the university.

Plus Bill Murray brings a quick interview about El Nino and the impact on Atlantic hurricane seasons.
