Book description: Step into the eye of the storm. Follow the action, from the first news reports of a hurricane called Katrina gathering out at sea, to eyewitness accounts of those who survive the epic devastation she finally wreaks along the Gulf Coast.

Then look back at the history of these catastrophic storms and examine the science of hurricanes. How do they form? Why do they rage through the same regions? Which were the deadliest hurricanes in history? And how can scientists predict their landfall?

Review: Again, the authors have brought together photographs and the people who have witnessed a disaster, in this case hurricanes. What I really like about these books bt the Fradins is that they read with the same quality as the shows on the Discovery Channel. This books definitely have the potential to encourage your children to read and exlplore through books the world around them.
