To say I enjoyed looking at these photos would be rather strange, since they were all about the power and destruction of Hurricane Hazel. Still, it was interesting to go through this book and learn more about Hazel's path, as well as improvements that were made afterward.
"Jay Barnes has produced a well-researched and comprehensive story in his Florida's Hurricane History. Very well written, it will be of great interest to the student of hurricanes and to residents and visitors to our nation's most hurricane-prone state." -- John R. Hope, The Weather Channel

The seventh chapter is all new. It covers Isabel (2003 which went through my hometown of Murfreesboro), the active season of 2004 (Alex, Bonnie, Charley, Frances, Gaston, Ivan, and Jeanne), Ophelia (2005), Irene (2011), and Sandy (2012).
I love the way Jay Barnes sets the stage for each storm and covers all the aftermath. So often I focus on what happened in North Carolina and how it affected me, family, and friends. With the power out and then dealing with the effects of the storm, it is easy to miss how it affected the rest of the world.
The thorough index lets me look up a location and find storms that affected it in a major way. I do sometimes have to move up to the county level, but that's fairly simple to do for people familiar with the counties of North Carolina.
Anyone interested in hurricanes and North Carolina will love this book. People who enjoy reading about these storms should find this interesting. Historians interested in North Carolina should give this a try. Meteorologists will probably find it useful. I will be getting the next edition when it comes out.… (plus d'informations)
