This review is from: The Hurricane of 1938 (NE Remembers) (Paperback)

This is a very worthwhile book from the human standpoint. It contains a wide variety of stories from those who were actually there, but could have used more facts. I still wonder, for instance, what caused an Atlantic hurricane to suddenly turn and attain a forward speed of 60 mph.
