A Great Read for that Winter Getaway!
If you are going to head south to get out of January's persistent cold, here is a great and uplifting book for your trip.It tells the story of how the storm warning system came to be with stories of all of the lives that have been saved -- and, the courageous scientists who make the warning system possible. It is available in paperback or Kindle.
If you prefer more drama, there is the story of the worst tornado warning failure -- ever. It occurred in Joplin, Missouri, on May 22, 2011, when 161 people perished when the tornado warning was badly botched.
Like Warnings, When the Sirens Were Silent is written like a novel and is completely non-technical. Tragically, it demonstrates that triple digit fatalities from a single tornado will resume if/when the tornado warning system fails. In the case of Sirens, the paper version sold out very quickly. It is available in Kindle for just $2.99. This is an important story, so we priced it accordingly.
