Living in Florida one gets to know the ways of a hurricane--Esp. living on the beach and having it come right at you. Joe does a great job keeping you involved in the development of both the storm and the people that will face the storm in a boat of all places. A hurricane is a unique experience and the people that faced this one needed better information than was given to them to protect themselves. A must read for anyone going on an "adventure" vacation--not just a diving experience--because everyone should have the ability to go against bad judgements to keep themselves safe.
