With warmer weather on the way, there will surely be lots of thunderstorms, tornadoes, and hurricanes around the country. Why not check out the new book titled Extreme Weather: a guide and record book by Christopher C. Burt. Call #: QC983.B78 2004
This book has colorful maps and tables that are filled with statistics and facts. The appendices have charts full of "records" (snowfall, temperature, etc). Also, there are many beautiful photos and other illustrations throughout the book.
Find out the average number of "hail days" experienced across the nation or world; find out the largest 24 hour temperature change; and what was the record number of tornadoes for just one day?
