Synopsis:

Full of dramatic survivor stories and vivid storm descriptions, this fast-paced historical analysis chronicles the events surrounding the devastating 1900 Galveston hurricane, and asserts that the city's Weather Bureau--and its head meteorologist Isaac Cline--grossly underestimated Galveston's vulnerability to storms.

Book Reviews:

"With a novelized narrative full of images so vivid they linger into dreams, Larson tells the story of the catastrophic hurricane that struck Galveston on Sept. 8, 1900, killing at least 8,000 people."
