Ben Hubbard is an author of nonfiction for children and adults.

Eyewitness accounts and stories of survivors are intriguing and unimaginable. However they enable readers to "literally" experience the devastation. . . .In a limited number of pages, a wealth of information is presented that can readily be understood by young readers. . . .This would be an excellent resource for government agencies to help the average citizen understand what to anticipate, how to prepare and survive a tornado, especially residents in Tornado Alley. Young readers will find this book useful while studying weather phenomena.-- "NSTA Recommends"
