It's a storm that calls ahead and lets you know it's coming. By the time a full-blown hurricane is ripping off roofs and flooding streets, scientists are on a first-name basis with it. They know its history and can trace its path across the ocean. Before It Was a Hurricane starts at the peak of the action-the chaos and power of a hurricane at full strength-before stepping backward through time . Follow its four-thousand-mile journey from a hot desert breeze to the most destructive storm on Earth. Includes fold-out pages to see HUGE images of a hurricane in action!
