What has been the best reading I've done during this pandemic? Oddly, reading about other disasters.
This is the story of the 1900 storm in Galveston told from the point of view of a meteorologist. I now feel like I understand things like barometric pressure and humidity and their connection with hurricanes much better.
I will always love Isaac's Storm as the best book about the 1900 Storm, but this one will be added to the list.
