5.0 out of 5 stars Telling it how it is. . ., January 20, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Twisters in the Heartland (Hardcover)

With all the drama and emotion of a movie on the subject, torando chaser Tim Mosier tells what is is like to be face-to-face with nature's most awesome wonder. Where most people have only witnessed the power and destruction of tornadoes through films, TV and second-hand stories-Mosier has had the unique experience of coming close-just one time to many for one lifetime. And in his book 'Twisters in the Heartland' he combines an understanding of the phenomenon for the average person with the realism of the moment as it takes place-through the destructive aftermath. His work as a member of an emergency management team has put him in the bird's eye view of the often bizarre situations created by a twister-ranging from having to watch helpless people sit through the storm from atop a stalled ferris wheel-to the sight of a pile of cars suddenly stacked on top of each other next to a telephone pole. Fascinating, compelling and informative.
