Now To Al Roker With The Weather... From 115 Years Ago
The Leonard Lopate Show | Aug 10, 2015
NBC weather personality Al Roker talks about the Great Gulf Hurricane of 1900, the deadliest natural disaster in American history. In less than twenty-four hours, one storm destroyed Galveston, Texas, a major American metropolis—and awakened a nation to the terrifying power of nature. The Storm of the Century: Tragedy, Heroism, Survival, and the Epic True Story of America's Deadliest Natural Disaster: The Great Gulf Hurricane of 1900 explores the impact of the disaster on a rising nation’s confidence—the pain and trauma of the loss and the determination of the response.
EVENT: Al Roker will be reading from the book on Aug. 12th at 12:30pm - 1:45pm in the Bryant Park Reading Room.
