Warnings: The True Story of How Science Tamed the Weather
Warnings: The True Story of How Science Tamed the Weather is a story of courageous scientists who created a storm warning system that saves literally thousands of lives each year in the United States. From Category 5 hurricanes to F-5 tornadoes, Warnings is a fascinating story about saving lives during the most massive storms of our lifetime. Warnings focuses on tornadoes, hurricanes, and commercial aviation. With five-star ratings at both Amazon and Barnes & Noble, Warnings is a highly entertaining read.

As one reviewer stated,

“Smith skillfully makes this and other controversies seem not just important, but exciting. Meteorology, in his telling, has the same bare-knuckle energy we see in politics or sports. These battles, many of which Smith himself fought in, reveal how much of our modern, weather-safe lifestyle is contingent on personalities, and could have gone another way.
While weather forecasters often appear starchy and bland, Smith makes the weather into an urgent concern, and a remarkable victory. This story turns the weather into a quest, and meteorologists into the most unlikely heroes in recent literature.”
