Even though I literally have shelves of weather books in my office, it was not that difficult a task to pick my top five favorite titles. These are the ones that I tend to keep within easy reach to either refresh my memory on a particular topic or simple to enjoy. Each one fills a unique niche and should be a valuable addition to the weather libraries of others. Consequently, the #1 book is no more or less important than #5 on the list, and they are presented in the order of publication.
Even though this is a work of fiction that is almost seven decades old this book, Stewart paints a wonderfully accurate picture about a storm and its impact of a storm on California. Set over a 12 day period we see the impact of a storm called Maria on the people, geography and infrastructure of California. This is a book I have loaned out countless times to meteorologists and friends new to California to share not only a wonderful book but also to give them a sense of the impact from a major winter storm on the state.This book is currently out of print, it was lasted printed in softcover by Univ. of Nebraska Press, but it is in most libraries and also various editons are wdiely available online. Enjoy.
...Coming tomorrow, an Extremely interesting book...
