Abstract:

From apocalyptic devastation in Central America to a frantic race against time in Miami, Davies takes you as close to a hurricane as it's possible to go. He tracks the greatest hurricanes in history and recounts his experiences following and flying directly into the worst storms of 1999 with the scientists who do it for a living; he explores the science of why hurricanes occur and how to predict their onslaughts more accurately; and he describes the mounting panic of those frantically making preparations as 1999's biggest storm, Floyd, looms. Floyd is a bone-shaking, gut-twisting roller coaster for Davies and the scientists he's flying with, but the storm brings wretched fear and horror to those who must endure it on the ground. The survivors are left with nothing but their lives amid a corpse-strewn wasteland of swamp and wreckage.--From publisher description.
