Review:

The most complete North Carolina hurricane book just got better! (Greg Fishel, Chief Meteorologist, Capitol Broadcasting Co., Inc.)

Without doubt, this is the definitive reference book on the Carolinas' plight with tropical weather. In fact, I use it in my work as a broadcaster, meteorologist, and journalist to help put current storms into historical perspective. (Eric Thomas, Chief Meteorologist, WBTV-Charlotte)

Jay Barnes's new material on hurricanes that have recently made landfall along the North Carolina coast is well written and accurate. It is fascinating to read about the ordeal of hurricane Floyd. (Steve Lyons, Tropical Program Manager, The Weather Channel)

Fascinating. . . . With compelling words and images, Barnes chronicles the destruction seen and the lessons learned from the storms.""--Raleigh News and Observer

This is arguably the best book ever produced about hurricanes--what they are, what they do, and how to avoid the brunt of them. (Southern Book Trade)
