METEOROLOGY. With climate change and global warming creating more frequent and more violent storms, there is a huge readership for weather disasters such as hurricanes and tornadoes. This book will appeal to the audience for the bestseller "Perfect Storm". This page-turning story of tornado chaser and National Geographic grantee Tim Samaras opens with a chilling, play-by-play description of the F5 tornado that wiped off the map the town of Manchester, North Dakota, on June 24, 2003. Stefan Bechtel, author of the acclaimed "Roar of the Heavens" teams with Samaras to reveal the heart and people of the town, the terror of the descending funnel, Samaras' fearless chase to the tornado's core, and the ingenious equipment he masterminded to record the inner workings of a tornado - to aid in future detection, avoidance, and destruction.
