This is by no means an exhaustive study of all major storms
and events. A few of the more notable or notorious occurrences
are described. In some cases, a storm might be included because
someone had a story or event connected with it that etched the
date firmly in their minds. That, I believe is the point: we
cannot separate the weather and environment from the milieu
of our lives. This book is an attempt to honor that connection.
