Beth H. (suburbanalien) reviewed on 10/26/2010 + 63 more book reviews

A bit of history, some good explanations about the early pioneers and continuing work of storm chasers, very well developed explanation (without being too science-y) of the known meteorological facts about tornados. Not much about the movie, which is too bad because as corny and cliche ridden as the movie was ("Jonah went and got himself some CORPORATE SPONSORSHIP! It's not about the science with him, it's about the fame!" yeah, those big bad corporate sponsors who ... fund research and save lives ... and uh ...) I really liked the movie and was hoping for more detail on that. But, it was a good read without being too dry, detailed accounts from different parts of this country's history, and some pictures. I liked it.
