I just order the book about the 1900 Galvaston storm, Isaac's Storm by Erik Larson. I think it will be good reading for next week as Emily enters the GOM.
Isaac's Storm is a fantastic book. I've read it twice. Once when it first came out in 2000, and then I recently re-read it. You just cannot even fathom the horror those people experienced during that storm. Chilling.

If you haven't read it yet--Hunting Hugo is a hair raising first person short story about the Hurricane Hunters.
