    A fresh compelling look at wild and awesome examples of weather in this revised and updated book in the Wonders of Creation series!

    • Did you know the hottest temperature ever recorded was 134 degrees Farenheit on July 10, 1913 in Death Valley, California?
    • The highest recorded surface wind speed was in the May 3,1999, Oklahoma tornado, measured at 302 mph!
    • The most snow to fall in a one-year period is 102 feet at Mount Rainier, Washington, from February 19,1971 to February 19, 1972!

    From the practical to the pretty amazing, this book gives essential details into understanding what weather is, how it works, and how other forces impact it. Learn why storm chasers and hurricane hunters do what they do and how they are helping to solve storm-connected mysteries. Discover what makes winter storms both beautiful and deadly, as well as what is behind weather phenomena like St. Elmo's Fire.

    Find important information on climate history and answers to the modern questions of supposed climate change. Get safety tips for preventing dangerous weather-related injuries like those from lightning strikes, uncover why thunderstorms form, as well as what we know about the mechanics of a tornado and other extreme weather examples like flash floods, hurricanes, and more. When you've finished reading the book, you'll understand much better God's amazing design of Earth's weather system!
