The Forgotten Storm: The Great Tri-State Tornado of… door Wallace Akin
Even though this was non-fiction it read like fiction, stories of survival and destruction. There were facts about weather and the formation of this tornado thrown in, but not overly technical. It was amazing the number of people who survived when so many were killed. The author was just 2 years old when he lived through it.
