Let me recommend Erik Larson's book on the Galveston hurricane of 1900, Isaac's Storm: A man, a time, and the deadliest hurricane in history.
Fascinating stuff.

Looks like an entry in the "Grammar/Usage Police" section. It also puts in mind the flaky headlines in our local rag. Does no one teach headline writing these days?
I heard that Hurrican Ike hit the Caribbean so hard they're renaming it Hurricane Ike Turner.
