Flash floods, tsunamis, earth­quakes, hur­ri­canes, mud­slides, thun­der­storms, and wild­fires — these dev­as­tat­ing events are hap­pen­ing around the world at an alarm­ing rate. As a Mete­o­rol­o­gist on CNN and HLN, Bon­nie Schnei­der reports on these nat­ur­al dis­as­ters, explain­ing when they’re like­ly to strike, and telling view­ers how to respond when they do. In Extreme Weath­er, Schnei­der dis­tills that infor­ma­tion into a guide for read­ers. She inter­views experts from a wide vari­ety of agen­cies — includ­ing FEMA and NOAA — to pro­vide a com­pre­hen­sive under­stand­ing of the sci­ence behind weath­er pat­terns and the lat­est think­ing on how to act in dan­ger­ous con­di­tions. Rang­ing from top­ics that cov­er every sea­son and every cli­mate, Schnei­der intro­duces the read­er to the best course of action dur­ing weath­er emergencies.
