Isaac's Storm

Author: Erik Larson

Erik Larson’s “Isaac’s Storm” is a gripping tale of nature’s fury and human hubris. Set in 1900 Galveston, it follows meteorologist Isaac Cline as he faces the deadliest hurricane in American history. Larson’s vivid prose brings the past to life, painting a haunting picture of a city on the brink. I was captivated by the blend of scientific detail and human drama, feeling the mounting tension as the storm approached. It’s a stark reminder of our vulnerability in the face of nature’s power.

Nature has a way of humbling us, of reminding us that we are not as powerful as we think.
