From killer twisters and frogs that fall from the sky to giant hailstones and mysterious balls of light that float through aircraft, Weird Weather takes us on a grand tour of the world's most bizarre, violent, and extreme atmospheric phenomena -- and explains what new oddities we can expect as pollution, global warming, and ozone depletion take their toll. Filled with riveting firsthand accounts and solid science, this unique book is required reading for anyone fascinated by the weather.
