Most people associate storms and other big weather with death—with the kind of force that makes each of us wonder about life, and time and the nature of our surroundings. Some people go out looking for bad weather or go to places where they're likely to encounter it. Others have the misfortune of being at the wrong place at the wrong time. Still, the stories in Storm have more to say than that. They tell us about what happens when people find that treacherous weather—or when it finds them—and we are reminded of the fragility of life, the capriciousness of Nature's will, and how little we can do when both cross paths.

Perfect for armchair travelers, this collection of wild survival stories allows any listener to live vicariously through the world's worst weather without even donning a raincoat. Each story--whether fiction or recollection--recounts in vivid detail the hardships and suffering caused by snowstorms, rain, winds, and hurricanes around the world. While each performance is stellar, some are better than others. High points of the tapes include The Storm, by Sebastian Junger, read by Rick Foucheux; The House of Mapuhi, by Jack London, read by Gary Telles; and The Hermit's Story, written by Rick Bass and read by Telles. Through the sheer strength of performance, these tales not only transport the listener to turbulent weather, they make one never want to leave the comfort of home. H.L.S.
