Industry Reviews

Wallace Akin, his mother, and their house were lifted by a tornado that was among the world's most violent. Since that day 77 years ago, when he landed safely with a jolt, that storm has lived within him. Des Moines Register In The Forgotten Storm, Wallace Akin presents eyewitness accounts and a definitive analysis of the nearly one-mile-wide mega twister which ripped through no less than three Midwestern states. Akin's approach firmly reestablishes this disaster's solemn spirit as well as its identity as a standard-setting meteorological event. -- Richard G. Fernicola M.D., author of "Twelve Days of Terror" Akin's brush with tragedy inspired a lifetime of writing and teaching about weather. His respect for the greatest of all Plains storms is a familiar feeling to all who have lived in this tornado alley. Midwest Living
