Weather Geeks

The History of Hurricanes


Listen Later

Guest: Eric Jay Dolin, Ph.D.


Introduction: 

Over the past several decades, the way we consume weather information and receive our latest forecasts has been revolutionized.  Millions of people can tune in to watch The Weather Channel during an impending tornado outbreak or approaching hurricane. With all this information so readily at our fingertips, it’s easy to forget how far we’ve come in our knowledge of weather and how it can shape our future. Today’s guest hasn’t forgotten the past. In fact, he loves to write about it… We’re excited to welcome best-selling author Eric Jay Dolin who has authored 14 books and more than 60 articles.  Today we’ll be discussing his latest book, A Furious Sky: The 500-Year History of America’s Hurricanes, and we’ll learn what his inspiration has been for his many acclaimed works.
