From the Blizzard of 1888 to the Great Appalachian Storm of 1950, this book reveals the majesty and terror of true superstorms in the mid-Atlantic and New England.

Not just for weather buffs (though filled with meteorological details), this book is for anyone who is fascinated by breathtaking accounts of natural forces at their most powerful. Seven Superstorms of the Northeast takes readers on a wild ride through some of the region's historically most destructive storms in a pre-Weather Channel, pre-satellite, pre-Doppler-radar world.

The book's title refers to seven monster storms including the blizzards of 1888, 1899, and 1914, the Snow Cloudburst of 1947, the Great Appalachian southeaster of 1950, and the hurricanes of 1938 and 1944. For residents of the mid-Atlantic and New England these storms that have shaped the character of the region.

Sprinkled around the jaw-dropping accounts of these superstorms are stories of lesser, but no less impressive, storms such as the two August hurricanes of 1893 and intense storms of the winter of 1913-1914. The author’s joy in the aesthetic of natural forces — finding poetry within the swirling winds!— infuses the reader with a sense of wonder.

This is a book where storms become legends.
