Not as insightful as I had hoped. The takeway was "lose weight" and "walk". I already knew that.

On a rainy night in April of 1947 a tornado struck the town of Woodward, Oklahoma, killing over 100 people and decimating the town. Bedard interviewed many survivors of the storm who still recall the horror of the night and the aftermath of such destruction. This is the first chapter in a well-researched book dealing with tornados and the people who fear them as well as the people who are exhilarated enough by them to give chase to budding storms. I hesitate to say that I was a bit lost when the author explained the science of winds, radar and storm devlopment, but I think that fault lies with me rather than Mr. Bedard. It is a fascinating look at the beginning of the weather bureau, forecasting and equipment used to warn of impending danger. The people who spend much of the spring driving thousands of miles so they can catch a tornado on film have actually contributed countless amounts of data to scientific weather research. It is an interesting read.
