Read by Edward Herrmann.
In the early 1900's, Isaac Cline was a scientist who believed he knew all there was to know about the motion of clouds and the behavior of storms. The idea that a hurricane could damage Galveston, Texas, where he was based, was to him preposterous. It is the story of what can happen when human arrogance meets nature's last uncontrollable force, based on Cline's own letters, telegrams, and reports, the testimony of scores of survivors, and our latest understanding of the hows and whys of great storms.

fascinating submitted by sumsaylor on July 29, 2015, 2:55pm Erik Larson has the ability to take historical events and weave together yarns that in the end feel like you're reading a page-turning novel. This book just raced along full of facts and interesting detail about "a man, a time, and the deadliest hurricane in history." This book is a dramatic reminder that it wasn’t very long ago that we couldn’t come close to predicting the weather.
