Title of Event: Mark Levine - F5: The Story of the Deadliest Tornado Outbreak of the Century http://leftbank.booksense.com/NASApp/store/IndexJsp?s=storeevents&eventId=350066
Acclaimed journalist Levine has crafted a page-turner that reads with the immediacy of a novel, telling a harrowing story of natural disaster against the backdrop of the turbulent 1970s.
#####
On April 3, 1974 an unprecedented outbreak of 148 tornadoes over a sixteen-hour period swept the United States, covering thirteen states in the heart of the country, from Michigan to Mississippi. Hundreds of people were killed, thousands of homes demolished, and a billion dollars in losses sustained. Sixty-four of the tornadoes would be classified as severely violent; six belonged to the most rare, most deadly category: F5, or “incredible tornadoes. â€Acclaimed journalist Mark Levine follows the heartwrenching fate of a rich cast of intertwined characters living in the already turbulent 1970s—ordinary Americans whose lives are transformed in a terrifying instant.
