The Mercy of the Sky: The Story of a Tornado by Holly Bailey

5.0

At times harrowing and horrifying, “The Mercy of the Sky” does a wonderful job at crafting a clear picture of what the May 20 Moore tornado was. Vignettes of notable individuals within the town litter the book, giving us a well-rounded look at the various views of this monstrous storm. It’s gut-wrenching to read, but is an important read to understand the power that these storms have. Growing up on the west coast, I’ve never had to fear a tornado, and this book certainly makes me never want to live within tornado alley.
