As someone who has lived in Galveston and along the coast I enjoy all the local references and as someone who has fled hurricanes I can tell you this book is the real deal! Luckily I’ve never experienced a horrible one but we all know the Gulf is a ticking time bomb. This story will keep you on the edge of your seat as you cheer for the characters to survive the storm of the century!

Good hurricane disaster book

Good hurricane disaster book

I thoroughly enjoyed this story.there are a few storylines I would have liked to see Mr tanner choose alternative outcomes.I'm sick but the more bang the better.but it was well written.my one Huge complaint is the use of upward of 13 blank pages between chapters on kindle.luckily the story outways my irritation on this.I would have liked to take half point off if I could.but the plot was good enough not to drop to a four..good luck, Mr. tanner, on future books
