Don Ekback’s Reviews > The Great Hurricane: 1938 > Status Update

This is a very graphic depiction of the surprise and devastation of what is seemingly the most destructive force in nature. A comparison between the amount of power contained in the nuclear arsenals of the United States and Russia not being able to power a hurricane for 24 hours is close to correct, it is awe inspiring. The book contrasts what happened to individuals and to society as a whole in a fascinating way.
