This book was on a list of books about disasters. It is currently free to listen to with Audible memberships, so I downloaded it. The tornado in question is the EF5 tornado that decimated the town of Moore, Oklahoma on May 20, 2013. I remember seeing this on the news, but I didn't pay as much attention to it at the time because I was dealing with a newborn. Every area is prone to some type of disaster, but I cannot imagine living right in the middle of tornado alley. This particular tornado was certainly a violent one, resulting in massive amounts of damage. School was in session during this storm, and some children were unfortunately killed when the school was hit by the tornado. This was an ordeal for everyone in the town. I looked up photos of the damage while I was listening to this, and it was staggering to see. I even found a before and after satellite image and the emptiness in the after was shocking to see. This wasn't my favorite disaster book, and some of the writing seemed generic and rushed in places, but it was interesting overall.
