Synopsis

Extreme Hurricanes and Tornadoes Another book of two halves! The development and geography of a hurricane/cyclone is explained, with the effects of devastating storm surges on land, why and where these happen, and of raging wind and torrential rain. Tornado Alley in the USA is the context for talking about those (quite mystifying) sucking vortexes, their anatomy and effects, with homes, cars and trees being tossed in the air and smashed up. When Disaster Strikes is a series that focuses on the science behind the worst disasters to have hit the planet, mainly, but not only, in modern times. This includes geological/geographical causes, the changing patterns of disaster (perhaps as a result of global warming), the destruction and environmental effects, along with human- interest stories, and the latest technology for predicting and warning.
