Al Roker of NBC’s Today Show brings millions of viewers the weather every morning. Also an author, Roker has now written his first book about the weather — and it’s a sobering tale, even in an age when the consequences of Katrina, Sandy, Irene and Lee are still being felt.
Roker’s focus is the hurricane that in 1900 devastated Galveston, the island off Texas, killing more than 10,000 people and forever changing how we consider such storms.
Still relevant today are the lessons contained in Storm of the Century: Tragedy, Heroism, Survival and the Epic True Story of America’s Deadliest Natural Disaster, which is published by William Morrow.
