Illustrated by
Lenice U. Strohmeier.
A young narrator tells about weathering Hurricane Bob, a powerful storm that occurred in August of 1991. The story focuses on the activities of the narrator's family before, during, and after the exciting and sometimes frightening storm. The watercolor illustrations include some nice close-ups and seascapes, but the human figures are often awkward. A short author's note offers facts about hurricanes.
