Black Friday Book Suggestion

By -
Amazon does it again.  :-(
For the third year in a row, they have run out on Black Friday. Don't worry, they actually have 70+ copies in their pipeline (I checked). Go ahead and order and they will be there in plenty of time for Christmas. 

However: If it is super urgent, call Watermark (below) and they will send out a copy today.

If you enjoy reading this blog, you'll enjoy reading Warnings: The True Story of How Science Tamed the Weather. 

What are readers saying about the book this week? I get emails from readers and I've had two since Monday:

Hi Mike.  A little over halfway through the book – just past Fujita’s groundbreaking work on microbursts and downbursts from Delta 191. It’s  an excellent read.

I've read and enjoyed it.  I think I'm going to go down to Watermark and get a couple more copies to send to other people as gifts. 


 Very pleased to report that Warnings is back in stock at Amazon but they only have a limited number of copies.

If you live in south central Kansas, it is also on sale and in stock at Watermark Books.

Hilary's Forecast Path Shifts West; Updated 9:20am PDT

The forecast path of the center of Hilary has shifted a bit to the west. This increases the threat to the Southland, especially in terms of flooding.  Rainfall Note the heavy rains are forecast for Los Angeles County. Serious flash flooding may result. Because the forecast path has shifted to the west, that increases the threat of serious flooding in Los Angeles County north into Yosemite and the southern Sierra. It lessens the threat in Utah and western Arizona. While the threat of widespread flooding in Utah and Arizona lessens, note that some thunderstorms with localized heavy rain show up on the map.  In Nevada, the more western path increases the risk of serious flooding around Mt Charleston and into the central part of the state.  Here is the updated  (9am PDT) flash flood risk map. Wind There are already about 40,000 people without power in California, mostly in the center of the state.  The maps above are the peak gusts forecasted with the storm. The highest winds, in general,
