Nobody wants to be rocked by a hurricane. In this collection you'll learn the definition, name, when they happen, Katrina (2005), Galveston (1900), Typhoon Vera (1959), Mitch (1998), Wilma (2005), Andrew (1992), Ike (2008), predicting them and a look into the future of fighting hurricanes. Very interesting details and summing up of past catastrophes. Highly recommended!
