Natural disasters can occur anytime, anywhere! They are mostly unpredictable. They are dangerous and lead to immense loss of life and property. This book introduces children to interesting facts about natural disasters, their causes, and their consequences.

The earth’s atmosphere experiences many natural changes which makes the weather swing from normal to extreme. A killer heat wave in Europe, devastating floods in India and Bangladesh, destructive hurricanes in America and furious storms in the Phillippines. Heatbursts, whiteouts, acid rain, and F1 tornadoes — these and more make up weather at its extreme worst. Over the last few years the earth has been experiencing more and more incidences of extreme weather. What is going wrong? Are human activities changing the pattern of weather more than ever before? This book has the answers.

Water is a necessary evil. This book proves this proverb right. Water causes havoc with floods and when it dries up, it again destroys human life. This book in an age-appropriate manner tells you how extreme weather destroys everything that comes in its way.

Nature is unpredictable…by nature! This book chronicles the world’s worst natural catastrophes and reveals the causes behind the disasters. It will also introduce children to interesting facts about the disasters as they occurred as well as their consequences.

Wind is one of the strongest forces of nature. Its energy can be harnessed and used in many ways. But uncontrolled wind can create havoc. The faster it moves, the stronger it gets; blowing away everything in its path — trees, houses, buildings and people. As it moves around the earth it shows its destructive nature through storms, cyclones and tornadoes. How does wind turn itself into a whirling pillar filled with thunderstorms? What can we do to protect ourselves from this disaster? Read this book to find out.

Each year, at least 1,200 tornadoes batter the United States. While most occur in Tornado Alley--a vast, weather-beaten swath of middle America-in truth, tornadoes can occur almost anywhere. And where there are tornadoes, there are storm chasers. They come in all shapes and sizes, from hobbyists to researchers to professional chasers. There is one, however, who stands well above the rest: Roger Hill. Hunting Nature's Fury tells the story of Roger Hill and his love affair with storm chasing, taking you on a suspenseful and dramatic ride across the Great Plains, into the Deep South, even into the eyes of such recent hurricanes as Katrina. You'll accompany Hill as he braves close calls, makes history, and gains insight into the science of severe weather. This is a story of a storm chaser obsessed with the storms that almost killed him; of resiliency in the face of disaster; and of humility in the presence of the awesome power of nature. Includes eight color pages of jaw-dropping photos taken by Hill showing many of the storms chronicled in the book.
