Excellent,
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Washington Weather (Hardcover)
This is exactly what a regional weather book should be: a beautifully illustrated, well-researched and well-written work by very competent authors that covers all the major weather events from the earliest times through the present. A must have for weather enthusiasts and interested local residents. I wish more cities/states had such great weather books.
