Reviews

[dpfaef]

Mother Nature is a terrifying thing. Earthquakes, floods, hurricanes and tornadoes are just scenes from the nightly news you never can really relate to until you have actually experienced one. You know at the beginning of this book that your heart is going to be broken - Cross achingly details the march of a EF5 tornado that took 72 lives and devastated everything in its path.

A sensitive, well written commentary on how we deal with things that we cannot conquer.
