Review quotes
"Hurricanes are serious business, but Gibbons uses a picture-book format to detail their destructive powers without the information ever becoming too frightening. . . . [An] intriguing introduction." —Booklist "This informative overview follows a format similar to Tornadoes!. Cartoonlike watercolor images filled with details accompany simple facts, such as the five categories of hurricanes and information about wind speed and surge heights. Maps of where hurricanes occur along with information on the most severe occurrences in American history are followed by details about forecasting and tracking these storms." —School Library Journal
