Bryan Norcross' "Hurricane Almanac" is two books in one. The first half is hurricane science, history, and perspectives on how we, as a society, deal with hurricanes. The second half is a personal guide to "Living Successfully in the Hurricane Zone." In addition to reviewing and explaining the relatively mild 2006 hurricane season, it looks forward to hurricane seasons to come, highlights the fascinating history of hurricanes interacting with civilisation, and details our rapidly increasingly ability - but still with limitations - to predict the severity and tracks of storms. With preparation checklists and shopping lists, an easy-to-understand guide to the technical information coming from the National Hurricane Centre, and critical practical information, "Hurricane Almanac" is your essential guide to coping with Mother Nature's greatest storms. A provocative chapter entitled: How I'd Do It Better details Norcross' ideas for a better hurricane system. It includes topics such as: family communications; staying in a house; shutters; backup power; computer hurricane plan; candles; pets, boats, cars, and businesses; evacuation decision-making; staying in an apartment; hurricane-proof windows; generators; post-storm air-conditioning; pool preparation; and insurance.
