I am reading a good book right now and I was curious as to what fiction or nonfiction books you would reccomend that have something to do with weather or even just natural disasters. I love reading books like that.

Thanks!

Hurricane watch by Dr. Bob Sheets and Jack Williams. It's excellent :)

Books by David Ludlum will let you see through his eyes all the wonders of weathers. A 1988 Wiley and Sons book by Gary Lockhart, The Weather Companion, is an interesting read...but I am biased because I wrote the Foreward for him. If you like snow, see if you can find Judd Caplovich's BLIZZARD, The Great Storm of '88. Has some terrific photos too. In The Shadow of the Tornado is a little book written in 1996 by Richard Bedard and it is about tornadoes in tornado alley...

Just some food for thought.

Steve, as I mentioned some months ago... I have "The Weather Companion." I got it from my aunt in 1990 (I see it was written in 1988).

I have several books including one mentioned here several months ago... "The Weather Forecasting Handbook."

I don't read them too often, as I am not much of a reader, but I prefer these types of books to books with plots.
