Set in Galveston Texas prior to and during the devastating (worse than Katrina) 1900 hurricane, Isaac's Storm tells the story of the early days of hurricane prediction by the United States Weather Bureau. Washington politics, an inadequate communications infrastructure, and the dedicated efforts by a remote weather observer in Galveston weren't good enough to prevent disaster on an enormous scale.
