We do not own this book but it is available through WILBOR as an audio book. I have seen a documentary of this storm on the Weather Channel and the images were amazing. Murphy did such a good job of writing this book that I was also able to see his 'images ' also. It is 1888 and a 'perfect storm' has paralyzed many states, but this book focuses mostly on NYC and the area. Murphy tells stories of specific people and that is what makes this book so interesting. From school children to a former Senator the stories are (please don't boo) bone-chilling. As with most calamities, there are changes made for the good of the people because of what happened. So if you get really hot this summer you might want to download this book to your MP3 player.
