A Furious Sky: The Five-Hundred-Year History of America's Hurricanes by Eric Jay Dolin

5.0

Dolin writes a nonfiction book as if he's having a conversation with someone about something he's really excited about and that is the best compliment I can give a nonfic book. Audio book narration aside, A Furious Sky was informative, entertaining, heartbreaking, and interesting the whole way through. I live closer to the mountains in North Carolina than I do to the shore, but the hurricanes in this book mentioned after 1999 are vivid memories for me.

I would recommend this book to anyone interested in how our world produces storms and how climate change is only going to make things worse in the not so far future. A Furious Sky truly was a fascinating read and I can't wait to read the other books he mentioned as source materials sprinkled throughout the pages.
