Major weather incidents from Floridas history are narrated, including often overlooked accidents caused by smoke and fog. After showing how climate has changed in the past, the authors look ahead to what further climate change would mean for the future.With many maps, helpful diagrams, and clear explanations, this book is an illuminating and accessible guide to Floridas dramatic weather and climate.
