Another pertinent topic while Irene comes up the coast. Joann, I saw your list -- please post again!

The song that keeps coming in my head is "Come on, Eileen", but I say "Irene".

If you need a movie to watch, the old "Flipper" has a hurricane story. That was exciting for our boys.

We just read "Blaze Find the Trail", one of the Billy and Blaze books by C.W. Anderson that has the hurricane. Although short, I thought that was one of the best examples for our family. We don't live on the coast, so only experience some wind and rain, not the actual eye and other coastal effects.

Time of Wonder by Robert McCloskey - fantastic as you would expect any McCloskey book to be!
