I felt that once the storm left Galvaston, the book sort of ran out of steam. The parts I found compelling were the description of the storm and other weather related stuff, but not so much the people parts. If both had been enhanced a bit more, I think I would have given the book four stars. (  ) justing | Dec 19, 2009 |  I really enjoyed parts of this book, but other parts not so much.

This book describes the deadliest of these storms, an unnamed but incredibly intense category 5 hurricane that struck Galveston in 1900. It is a fantastic account that I couldn't put down. I've only experienced a category 1 hurricane first-hand (Jeanne went right over Plant City in 2004), but this book gave me an appreciation for the power and terrifying nature of hurricanes that I just didn't have before. Gripping tale for any reader; an absolute must-read for weather geeks. (  )1  PCGator | Jul 10, 2009 | An account of the 1900 hurricane that hit the city of Galveston.
