I felt that once the storm left Galvaston, the book sort of ran out of steam. The parts I found compelling were the description of the storm and other weather related stuff, but not so much the people parts. If both had been enhanced a bit more, I think I would have given the book four stars. ( )I really enjoyed parts of this book, but other parts not so much. I felt that once the storm left Galvaston, the book sort of ran out of steam. The parts I found compelling were the description of the storm and other weather related stuff, but not so much the people parts. If both had been enhanced a bit more, I think I would have given the book four stars. Before the days of radar and the Weather Channel, hurricanes would strike full force with little or no warning. This book describes the deadliest of these storms, an unnamed but incredibly intense category 5 hurricane that struck Galveston in 1900. It is a fantastic account that I couldn't put down. I've only experienced a category 1 hurricane first-hand (Jeanne went right over Plant City in 2004), but this book gave me an appreciation for the power and terrifying nature of hurricanes that I just didn't have before. Gripping tale for any reader; an absolute must-read for weather geeks. An account of the 1900 hurricane that hit the city of Galveston. brak recenzji | dodaj recenzję
