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.

"Twisters In The Heartland" is a must read book, not only for the avid stormwatcher, but for anyone who has a chance to encounter a tornado upclose and personal. The book describes real life twister touchdowns and devastation, as well as giving the readers valuable information on how to prepare for such a "Beast." Excllent reading!!!!

Tim Mosier's first-hand accounts of tornado experiences are terrific but this book is swirling with spelling errors, grammatical errors, typographical errors and factual errors. Who editing this thing? Anyone? What a pity as this is not so much a book as a manuscript for a book before an editor and proofreader did their work. This is not to imply criticism of the author. He's done a great job and the book is riveting start to finish. But how could any publisher publish a book this messy?

twisters in the heartland is a must read book for the family minded person who wants to help pepare their family for severe weather tim tells it like it is and he tell his own experiences its a must read
