Description: Hurricane Sandy was not just enormous, it was unprecedented. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration couldn't issue reliable warnings; the Coast Guard didn't know what to do. Superstorm takes readers inside the maelstrom, from dedicated weather professionals like a forecaster who risked his job to sound the alarm, to the crew of the ill-fated Bounty, Mayor Bloomberg, Governor Christie, and countless coastal residents whose lives were torn apart.--
