THE MAN WHO CAUGHT THE STORM The Life of Legendary Tornado Chaser Tim Samaras

Given the drama at the center of this compelling story, Jacques Roy's languid narration is incongruous. Tim Samaris, a self-taught engineer and storm chaser, was never more comfortable than when he was in pursuit of a tornado. But even when being followed by Discovery Channel cameras, he was no daredevil, and he was even more cautious when traveling with his son, Paul, a talented videographer. That's why the weather community was shocked by the tragedy that took their lives (and one other) in a 2013 Oklahoma twister. While Roy's matter-of-fact delivery reduces the impact of the author's well-written accounts of the storm chasers' adventures, it works well in the technical and historical sections of this audiobook.
