| Zusammenfassung: | The Sunshine State has an exceptionally stormy past. Vulnerable to storms that arise in the Atlantic, Caribbean and Gulf of Mexico, Florida has been hit by far more hurricanes that any other state. In many ways, hurricanes have helped shape Floridas history. Early efforts by the French, Spanish and English to claim the territory as their own were often thwarted by hurricanes. More recently, storms have affected such massive projects as Henry Flaglers Overseas Railroad and efforts to manage water in South Florida In this book, Jay Barnes offers an informative look at Florida's hurricane history. Drawing on meteorological research, news reports, first-person accounts, maps, and historical photographs, he traces all of the notable hurricanes that have affected the state over the last four-and-a-half centuries, from the great storms of the early colonial period to the devastating hurricanes of 2004 and 2005 - Charley, Frances, Ivan, Jeanne, Dennis, Katrina, and Wilma. In addition to providing a comprehensive chronology of more than one hundred individual storms, Florida's Hurricane History includes information on the basics of hurricane dynamics, formation, naming, and forecasting. It explores the origins of the U.S. Weather Bureau and government efforts to study and track hurricanes in Florida, home of the National Hurricane Center. But the book does more than examine how hurricanes have shaped Florida's past; it also looks toward the future, discussing the serious threat that hurricanes continue to pose to both lives and property in the state." Filled with more than 200 photographs and maps, the book also features a foreword by Steve Lyons, tropical weather expert for the Weather Channel. It will serve as both an essential reference on hurricanes in Florida and a remarkable source of the stories - of tragedy and destruction, rescue and survival - that foster our fascination with these powerful storms.
