A must read BEFORE severe weather strikes!
For anyone with even the slightest interest in the weather (and that covers just about all of us), the visual aspects of this book alone are well worth the price of admission! Many beautiful images along with video clips of tornadoes, hurricanes, lightning, supercell thunderstorms, and much, much more are featured throughout the book! But the real purpose of this guide book is to keep you and your family safe from severe weather events. Valuable tips are given on how to be prepared before severe weather strikes, as well as what to do if you are caught in a severe weather situation. Would you know what to do if you and your family were attending a sporting event inside a large stadium when a tornado suddenly threatens, or what NOT to do if you are driving down the highway in the family car when a tornado rapidly approaches your position!? Find the answers to these questions and many others that you may one day ask when Mother Nature unleashes her worst. These easy to follow (and remember) tips may one day keep you safe, and more importantly may even save your life, and/or the life of the ones you love!
Timely advice for Hurricane season
The book is visually amazing. Real life advice that anyone can apply. I appreciate a book that is short and to the point. This book inspires me to be more pro-active in my preparations. I wish all our public schools had a copy and used it for training.
