Summary

With Storm， first published in 1941， George R。 Stewart invented a new genre of fiction， what we might today call the eco-novel。 California had been plunged in drought throughout the summer and fall， when， just after the new year， half a world away， a ship on the Pacific reports an unusual barometric reading。 In San Francisco， a junior meteorologist in the weather bureau takes note of the anomaly and plots “an incipient little whorl” on the weather map， a developing storm， he suspects， that he privately dubs Maria。 Stewart’s novel tracks Maria’s eastward progress to and beyond the shores of the United States though the eyes of meteorologists， linemen， snowplow operators， a general， a couple of decamping lovebirds， and an unlucky owl， and the storm， as it ebbs and falls， will bring long-needed rain， flooding roads， deep snows， accidents， and death。 Storm itself combines brilliant narrative invention and widespread erudition to offer an epic account of humanity’s relationship to， and dependence on， the natural world。

I chose to read this because it was referenced in A Furious Sky。 It took me two months to read and it was only 349 pages。 I just couldn't get into it， but for some reason was determined to finish it。 I chose to read this because it was referenced in A Furious Sky。 It took me two months to read and it was only 349 pages。 I just couldn't get into it， but for some reason was determined to finish it。 。。。more

Interesting， especially for Californians and people interested in weather/science。 Stewart makes the storm the protagonist。 It's written in 1941 and foreshadows current techniques in forecasting （naming of storms， for one thing）。 The book follows the life of a storm over 12 days and a third of the world surface。 It includes numerous minor characters， such as the weather forecasters for the government， for the train system， for airports， for energy， for flood control。 Who knew so many areas had s Interesting， especially for Californians and people interested in weather/science。 Stewart makes the storm the protagonist。 It's written in 1941 and foreshadows current techniques in forecasting （naming of storms， for one thing）。 The book follows the life of a storm over 12 days and a third of the world surface。 It includes numerous minor characters， such as the weather forecasters for the government， for the train system， for airports， for energy， for flood control。 Who knew so many areas had storm monitors。 Then there are the everyday characters impacted by the storm。 The couple going from Reno to San Francisco for the weekend， the traveling salesman， the line worker。 But the storm is a terrific character！ 。。。more

I love this book。 At 79 years since publication， it still feels fresh and as a longtime student of meteorology and a native Californian I find this book to be a gem - a keeper。 Beyond first hand experience of storms that flooded creeks， drains and streets， caused waves to batter the pilings under a childhood home， and coincidently dropped the loads of snow in the mountains 4 hours away where I first learned to ski， my first introduction to storm meteorology was a Disney documentary in the late 5 I love this book。 At 79 years since publication， it still feels fresh and as a longtime student of meteorology and a native Californian I find this book to be a gem - a keeper。 Beyond first hand experience of storms that flooded creeks， drains and streets， caused waves to batter the pilings under a childhood home， and coincidently dropped the loads of snow in the mountains 4 hours away where I first learned to ski， my first introduction to storm meteorology was a Disney documentary in the late 50’s or very early 60’s。 Perhaps it was called， “They call the Winds Maria，” as that was the song theme。 Coming full circle I find in the foreword by Ernest Callenbach that this is the book （and the storm’s name） that influenced that production。 I’m not a literary critic but note that beyond descriptions of the anatomy of a storm， this book is about love: love of the processes of nature and love and appreciation of real people possessed of curiosity， talent， and passion for knowledge and service。 It is people such as these on which the book’s characters were modeled。 I place George R。 Stewart’s works with those of two other highly favored authors: Farley Mowat and Norman Maclean and eagerly look forward to Stewart’s book， Fire。 。。。more

Great book about a terrible storm which hits the west coast of the USA， but really more about meteorology and the systems in place to deal with disaster and catastrophe。 Although somewhat dated， the basic structure of all that is detailed is still in place。This follows the development of a storm from its initial formation off the coast of New Zealand across the Pacific Ocean， then when it crashes into the Americas， held in place by a polar inversion through the midwest。 For several days in a row Great book about a terrible storm which hits the west coast of the USA， but really more about meteorology and the systems in place to deal with disaster and catastrophe。 Although somewhat dated， the basic structure of all that is detailed is still in place。This follows the development of a storm from its initial formation off the coast of New Zealand across the Pacific Ocean， then when it crashes into the Americas， held in place by a polar inversion through the midwest。 For several days in a row the storm rages against this barrier， and this book examines the reactions and effects on the people， plants， animals， and land。This sounds kind of mundane and the focus on detail sounds perhaps dull but Storm is written so well and is so interesting you hardly notice how much you're learning about disaster response。 The leadership might be terrible but the men and women doing the work on the ground to keep things going and limit the damage are fierce and working hard。 。。。more

I love this ponderous book。 Read the top reviews here to understand what a big influence it has had on our world。 One thing I did not see mentioned in other views is how fast organizations and physical structures were set up to deal with automobile and train travel after they became major modes of long distance transportation。 The development of levees and weird on the Sacramento River and how information was conveyed from the river to the man in command was amazing and sophisticated。 Off to rea I love this ponderous book。 Read the top reviews here to understand what a big influence it has had on our world。 One thing I did not see mentioned in other views is how fast organizations and physical structures were set up to deal with automobile and train travel after they became major modes of long distance transportation。 The development of levees and weird on the Sacramento River and how information was conveyed from the river to the man in command was amazing and sophisticated。 Off to read Stewart’s Earth Abides while self-isolating from covid-19。 。。。more

Boy， I was glad to crack STORM; it was not only a good 'you were there' scenario， but took me back in time to when a novel strode firmly forward and didn't mince around。 The only thing I felt it lacked was some sort of central character to get to know （beyond the weather bureau guys， of course） to make it monumental。 Of course， being a resident of central/northern CA helped; it was more engaging than if it had been set in Maine or Florida。 We still have storm-related crises here （tho not often a Boy， I was glad to crack STORM; it was not only a good 'you were there' scenario， but took me back in time to when a novel strode firmly forward and didn't mince around。 The only thing I felt it lacked was some sort of central character to get to know （beyond the weather bureau guys， of course） to make it monumental。 Of course， being a resident of central/northern CA helped; it was more engaging than if it had been set in Maine or Florida。 We still have storm-related crises here （tho not often as severe as other locales on a regular basis -- now we specialize in wild-fires in 'urban' areas！） and I can think of a few that were made more poignant by this narrative。 The changes in technology， transportation， etc。 since 1940 are amazing， but weather still holds sway when it chooses to！ 。。。more

I was looking into the history of naming hurricanes， and stumbled on this。 The New York Times reviewed it as “phenomenal”， although I think the author was having a bit of pun， since a storm is a meteorological phenomena。 Still， it was a very positive review。 You can look at the original review from November 20th， 1941， （which was just about two weeks before Pearl Harbor）。 Here is an even more enthusiastic amateur review。 Oddly， the tradition is to name tropical storms and hurricanes， not ext I was looking into the history of naming hurricanes， and stumbled on this。 The New York Times reviewed it as “phenomenal”， although I think the author was having a bit of pun， since a storm is a meteorological phenomena。 Still， it was a very positive review。 You can look at the original review from November 20th， 1941， （which was just about two weeks before Pearl Harbor）。 Here is an even more enthusiastic amateur review。 Oddly， the tradition is to name tropical storms and hurricanes， not extratropical storms， such as the one in this book。Of special note: an unnamed junior meteorologist names the titular mega storm "Maria"。 In a 1947 reprint， the author wrote a forward explaining that "The soft Spanish pronunciation is fine for some heroines， but our Maria here is too big for any man to embrace and much too boisterous。" So the name was to be pronounced with a "rye" in the middle， not as in the traditional Spanish pronunciation。 So when Storm more-or-less inspired the musical and movie Paint Your Wagon， it included the song They Call the Wind Maria， pronounced as the author of Storm intended。 And to wrap up the special note， this is the origin of Mariah Carey’s name （also quite big and boisterous？）。Note to self: One reprinted edition has an introduction by Wallace Stegner， a later one has an introduction by Ernest Callenbach。 Well， duh: all towering San Francisco Bay Area literary elites。 Still， how to choose？ 。。。more

If the movie “The Day After Tomorrow” and The Weather Channel got married and then jumped together through a time warp back to the 1940s， this book would be their child。It is easy to see why Storm became a runaway best-seller when it was first published back in 1941: equal parts hard science and disaster-movie plot laced with touches of poetry and philosophy， it is difficult to put down。 The state of weather forecasting in the book， cutting edge for when it was published， takes nothing away from If the movie “The Day After Tomorrow” and The Weather Channel got married and then jumped together through a time warp back to the 1940s， this book would be their child。It is easy to see why Storm became a runaway best-seller when it was first published back in 1941: equal parts hard science and disaster-movie plot laced with touches of poetry and philosophy， it is difficult to put down。 The state of weather forecasting in the book， cutting edge for when it was published， takes nothing away from the reader’s interest for being more than seventy-five years out of date。 Although the author goes relatively light on the characterizations of the people in the story—one really gets the feeling that Irwin Allen （producer of “The Poseidon Adventure” and “The Towering Inferno”） must have kept a copy of Storm next to his bedside—the main character throughout is the weather， in particular the storm of the book’s title， which the Junior Meteorologist who discovers it， or J。M。 as he is called after we meet him， names Maria in the opening pages。 （The J。M。 has a habit of calling storms after women he has known; this became the reason why the National Weather Service for many years gave female-only names to hurricanes in real life。）Maria is a living， breathing creature， same as we are; but she is by nature very destructive and has no conscience about what she does， where she does it， or to whom over the twelve-day course of her life。 All the humans can do is observe and get out of her way as much as possible。 And of course she is indiscriminate about her targets; various animals have to cope with her， just as all the people do。 George Stewart was not only a good writer， he was also prescient: the book is way ahead of the time in which it was written in a couple of ways。 Not only does Maria grow physically huge， foreshadowing the increasingly large storms the world has seen in recent years， but weather events on opposite sides of the globe are shown to be intimately connected， a concept that was not on the average person’s radar in the early 1940s。 In the age of global warming， Storm remains timely and worth a read。 。。。more

Disappointing because I mistakenly thought this book was nonfiction， perhaps something like an early John McPhee work。 Instead it was fiction， but written in a documentary style。 Though the reviews were excellent， it just didn't capture my interest much。 Maybe it's just that it's an old book now: descriptions of the "technology" used to track the storm -- reports from ships at sea， slide rules， hand-drawn weather maps -- made it seem merely quaint， rather than riveting。 Disappointing because I mistakenly thought this book was nonfiction， perhaps something like an early John McPhee work。 Instead it was fiction， but written in a documentary style。 Though the reviews were excellent， it just didn't capture my interest much。 Maybe it's just that it's an old book now: descriptions of the "technology" used to track the storm -- reports from ships at sea， slide rules， hand-drawn weather maps -- made it seem merely quaint， rather than riveting。 。。。more
