Night of the Twisters
Night of the Twisters | Ivy Ruckman
5 posts | 4 read
Tornado Alert! Tornado Alert! Tornado alert! Tornado alert! just seconds after the announcement, the radio is dead, the lights go out, and the only sound in the unnaturally quiet night is the horrifying wail of the warning siren. Dans been through a dozen tornado watches before, but this is the real thing -- a twister is about to hit. Alone in the house, be, his best friend, and his infant brother take shelter in the basement. Huddled in the shower, covered by a blanket, they listen to the sounds of the howling, shrieking tornado. The world seems about to come to an end On top of them. This harrowing story of a day like any other turned -- almost without warning -- into a nightmare abounds with courage, love, and hope.

Twisters is based on a 1980 disaster in which a series of tornadoes devastated Grand Island, Nebraska. Quick read, well done 🌪️

I loved this book as a kid. Sad to say my adopted hometown was hit by a tornado on Tuesday. I knew it was bad when the sirens went off a 3rd time and every single first responder in Ottawa set off their sirens as well. No damage in my neighborhood but so many lost their homes...
