A Book Is a Great Gift

By -
This is a terrific gift for those who enjoy or are curious about weather. Excerpts from genuine reviews:
  • The book is easily readable and very informative. It is a keeper for my library. Great job.
  • Smith is a gifted writer who kept me turning the pages and enjoying the narrative. Warnings has made the short list of non-fiction books (like Richard Preston’s First Light or Gary Paulsen’s Winterdance that I will re-read from time to time for the sheer pleasure of doing so.
  • The book is an excellent story of how science has impacted our country and the safety of its citizens. It is a page turner. If you enjoy Mike’s blog, you’ll enjoy the book. And if you enjoy the book, you’ll definitely enjoy his blog.
  • This is a fascinating book, full of suspense, telling it like it is, and a great learning experience without realizing just how much of what you read will stay with you. I highly recommend this book, it opened my eyes to the difficulties people 'in the know' deal with not just occasionally, but on-going in their efforts to keep us all as safe as possible.
  • Talk about an amazing read!
Hope you will consider this as a gift for your family and friends.

    I was fortunate to write about science, tech, and medicine for nearly 50 years. For me, a great science book must (1) deliver a compelling story and (2) be well written. Warnings satisfies both and then some. When I bought my daughter a Kindle, I made sure Warnings was on it. Highly recommended.

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,
