Hurricane!: The 1900 Galveston Night of Terror

Donna Latham

With roaring winds and pounding rains, hurricanes represent nature at its most furious. In Hurricane! The 1900 Galveston Night of Terror, young readers will experience one of the worst hurricanes in American history through the heroic story of Dr. Isaac Cline. He survived floodwaters and devastating winds--while others on this Gulf Coast island perished. Combining a scientific explanation of hurricanes with narrative documentation from the Galveston storm, Hurricane! details advances in hurricane research and safety procedures since 1900. Four-color photographs, maps, and a diagram are guaranteed to inform and entertain children.
