A freak weather storm thwarted plans for our July book club meeting. Power went out and trees were down so we had to cancel.
It’s funny in a way, I just finished “Isaac’s Storm,” by Erik Larson. The book is non-fiction about the deadliest hurricane in history, which occurred in Galveston, Texas on September 8, 1900. Our little puffer paled in comparison and we are grateful it did after experiencing Hurricane Sandy.
It is so hard to imagine nature’s fury unless you’ve been through it. “Isaac’s Storm,” is an amazing read and great for conversation at book clubs. You’ll discuss just how far we’ve come in predicting storms and in the bureaucratic red tape that cost a lot of people their lives. Excellent read. I haven’t read an Erik Larson book I didn’t love.
