Description
"Blending an unforgettable cast of characters, accessible weather science, and deep historical research into a sweeping and dramatic narrative, The Storm of the Century brings the legendary hurricane of 1900 and its aftermath into fresh focus. No other natural disaster has ever matched the havoc caused by the awesome mix of winds, rain, and flooding that devastated Galveston and shocked a young nation on the cusp of modernity. Al Roker vividly examines the natural disaster while also underlining the fact that no matter how mighty they may become, all nations must respect the ferocious power of our natural environment." --Adapted from dust jacket.
