"A great book for the Florida newcomer mainly because of the introductory chapter that explains the forces that control Florida’s weather and climate: latitude, altitude, land and water distribution, ocean currents, prevailing winds, storms, and pressure systems. It’s also valuable because it has highly readable chapters on the various seasonal weather hazards--such as lightning, tornadoes, hurricanes, droughts and freezes--well known to Floridians."--Southeastern Geographer
