Everything you ever wanted to know about tornadoes,
By A Customer
This review is from: Significant Tornadoes 1680-1991/a Chronology and Analysis of Events (Hardcover)
Significant Tornadoes contains the most comprehensive set of US tornado statistics I have ever seen.(1880 to 1991) This book is a MUST BUY for anyone who studies tornadoes or anything related to tornadoes including frequency, casualty or damage. It is written for the professional, but in a language that everyone can understand. With its myriad of charts, pictures, tables, graphs, and statistics, it is without question the ultimate tornado encyclopedia. My only complaint is that it has not yet been updated to include statistics beyond 1991

The Bible of Tornado Research!,
By wilson.941@osu.edu (Ohio State University) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Significant Tornadoes 1680-1991/a Chronology and Analysis of Events (Hardcover)
This book was the main source for my masters thesis on the effectiveness of the National Weather Services Severe Weather Watch and Warning System. Very critical to my research was the paths of individual storms as well as intensity and this covered both magnificently.Probably is a little too pricey for the person with casual interest, but for a power user a MUST HAVE!

Tornadic Finesse,
By "vortex87" (Picnic Point, NSW Australia) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Significant Tornadoes 1680-1991/a Chronology and Analysis of Events (Hardcover)
... it is the best book on tornadoes that I've ever read (Arjen and Jerrine Verkaik's "Under the Whirlwind" is a close second - well, not that close, as it's well eclipsed in size by this). It not only covers every F2 and over-/killed one or more-tornadoes in the U.S. over three centuries, and tornado listings and path-maps for every state, but goes into detail on tornado formation, the dynamics of a supercell storm, other wind-related hazards they produce, a detailed, illustrated analysis of the Fujita scale and what damage counts for what ranking - in short, just about everything that counts regarding tornadoes. A must-have for cyclonophiles!UPDATE - ...
