I just finished Isaac’s Storm this weekend. I liked it, not as well as Devil though.

Haven’t read Isaac’s Storm yet. I read and enjoy his books but he isn’t on my list of must read authors. Each of the two topics/characters he covers in a book would make fine stand alone books and while they can be connected the connection isn’t that solid. It does allow him to cover two different parts of society.

I read a book a few years ago about a hurricane that hit Florida. It was about the hurricane that hit on Labor Day in 1935. It’s called Storm of the Century by Willie Drye. Related to this hurricane and Florida history is Last Train to Paradise: Henry Flagler and the Spectacular Rise and Fall of the Railroad that Crossed an Ocean by Les Standiford which was also good. I also liked the Johnstown Flood by David McCullough (he is one of my must read authors). It’s about a different area and different disaster. I think you’d like all 3 books.
