About the Book
Oklahoma, USA - Every year, the heartland of America endures a struggle with some of the worst weather on Earth. A perfect geographical puzzle brings more destructive tornadoes to the central United States than anywhere else in the world, and the people of Oklahoma have suffered their fury time and again. Now, it is a unique and dangerous natural laboratory, the hub of the world's severe weather research, where scientists take to the road in a continuous effort to study and predict these storms, hoping to lessen their toll on human life.
Tornado Country explores the chronology of severe storms in Oklahoma's story, from the pioneer days to the cutting edge of science and technology, tracing our growing understanding of deadly disasters. Discover the human fascination with nature's extremes that drives people to chase them, and witness the life-altering, history-making impacts of the largest and most powerful tornadoes ever recorded.
