Such a devastating storm. Glad they’ve gotten better at predicting and protecting since then.
The details swung from too much to too little. For example, there was a very detailed map, but when I tried to look up places in it, they often weren’t there. And many places on it didn’t seem to appear in the book.
Another example is giving a date trajectory map of the hurricane but then referring to the day of the week instead of the date.
Overall I enjoyed it and the window into early 1900s life.
