Even Isaac Cline, resident meteorologist for the U.S. Weather Bureau failed to grasp the true meaning of the strange deep-sea swells and peculiar winds that greeted the city that morning. Mere hours later, Galveston found itself submerged in a monster hurricane that completely destroyed the town and killed over six thousand people—and Isaac Cline found himself the victim of a devastating personal tragedy.\n\n\n\nUsing Cline's own telegrams, letters, and reports, the testimony of scores of survivors, and our latest understanding of the science of hurricanes, Erik Larson builds a chronicle of one man's heroic struggle and fatal miscalculation in the face of a storm of unimaginable magnitude.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003csmall\u003eProduct image is for illustration purposes only and may not be an exact representation of the product offered for sale.\u003c\/small\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Knopf Doubleday Publishing Group, 2000","offers":[{"title":"Isaac's Storm A Man, a Time, and the Deadliest Hurricane in History \/ Very Good","offer_id":54064834543908,"sku":"9780375708275VG","price":7.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0714\/9951\/4148\/files\/public_d205391d-f601-4da9-b171-1ed3907b33f5.jpg?v=1781793723","url":"https:\/\/brookingsbooks.com\/products\/9780375708275","provider":"Brookings Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
