    Mike,

    I'm sorry to be a thorn in your side, however I hardly regard the above link as a "review". He never once gave any personal background experience or review of the book. Instead he quoted you and the inside cover commentary by another author. To be frank, I don't think you read his "review" either. He states that the tornado sirens "never sounded" that evening, which by your own admission is completely false.

    I also saw a link to another "review" by Roger Pielke Jr. on a message board, and that was no review either. He just said that he "highly recommended" the book - yet never even admitted to having read it.

    I'd wait for some actual reviews before posting them as such - it hurts your credibility in my opinion. Of course, I have never authored anything in my life, so who am I to tell you anything...but thats how it comes off out here in the sticks.

    Mike,

    I got your book, read it over and over. I recommended it last night on Facebook to my friends. Can I email you a few (local) corrections I think that should be made in the book, in regards to the local college name and JHS graduation?

    Roger and Todd, sorry I am tardy in replying.

    @Roger: Roger Pielke told me he read the book. That is good enough for me.

    @Todd: Absolutely, please email anything that might be helpful.

It is imperative residents of the central Great Plains use the forecast to prepare for damaging winds and, perhaps, a tornado or two.  Tornado Risk The brown area has been moved south into northern Oklahoma and now includes Bartlesville, Ponca City, Enid, and Stillwater, in addition to the cities shown. In Missouri, it includes Joplin and Nevada.  Destructive Thunderstorm Winds Here is the color code: Pink and hatched: High  risk of destructive winds of 75 mph or stronger.  Red and hatched: Enhanced risk of wind gusts of 75 mph or stronger.  Yellow: Significant risk of winds 60 mph or stronger.  If you live in the red or pink areas, I urge  you to prepare for the potential for power outages, some could last a day or more. Bring in lawn furniture or trampolines which could blow about and crash into other objects -- increasing damage. Put your car in the garage or carport.
