Jeff Rosenfeld takes us on a whirlwind adventure through the world's deadliest storms. He describes meteorologists flying through 200-mph hurricanes with winds pummeling their planes and chasing tornadoes across the desolate desert. This unprecedented work follows these brave scientists into the eye of the storm, eloquently explaining the science behind snowflakes, hail, and even the ghostly glow emanating from inside tornadoes.
