Book Description
"A satisfying read." --School Library Journal Hurricane Katrina was one of the most destructive storms in American history. In this fictional tale, daring twins Jo Jo and Sophie battle the raging floodwaters in a fight for their lives. For twins Jo Jo and Sophie Dupre, Hurricane Katrina isn't the most important thing on their minds-not compared their mother's cancer treatments, Sophie's swim meet, and Jo Jo's upcoming coding competition. But when the storm intensifies and there's only one seat their aunt's car, Mom has to be the one to evacuate. The twins and their father are stuck at home in the Lower Ninth Ward of New Orleans. The winds rise-and with them, the waves. The levees break and floodwater rages through the city. During the chaos, Jo Jo and Sophie are swept away. Together, they must find their way to the Superdome, where their father should be waiting-but can they escape the wrath of one of the deadliest storms in history?

Pages : 366
Book Description
News of Hurricane Ike's impending catastrophic landfall on Texas' Gulf Coast resembled the "Crying Wolf" residents experienced many times in year's past. A Catagory 2 storm had always proved nonthreatening and I had no intention of running again only to be tied up in traffic lines for 20 hours just to travel a distance that normally took five hours to drive. The inconvenience and financial expenses for lodging, food, and gas seem to outway the mandatory evacuation. These photos are a journal of events that preceeded and aftermath of Hurricane Ike's uninvited visit to Galveston Island, Bolivar Peninsula and surrounding communities.

"Terrorist attacks, hurricanes, pandemic, earthquakes, tornadoes, oil spills, floods and tsunami -- Ed Minyard has responded to them all. Over the past 10 years, Ed has been involved in almost every major crisis in and around North America -- and one long-range mission to Japan. This book describes his adventures and presents a view that most have never seen -- from inside the heart of chaos. Read of Ed's experiences with politicians, heroes, tragic victims and yes, the inevitable crooks that always seem to be there to exploit these events. Ed tells it like it was -- no holds barred. In the end, it's the lessons from these terrible events that matter. Ed expresses those lessons with stright-talk, peppered with a bit of (sometimes dark) humor. Above all else, this book will educate the reader in the subject of preparedness -- but only if you take the lessons to heart. That part is up to you."--Back cover.
