Veteran Storm Chaser Releases New Book About Severe Weather Safety
Arlington, Texas (PRWEB) August 05, 2014 -- Veteran storm chaser Martin Lisius has released a new book titled “The Ultimate Severe Weather Safety Guide.” It is currently available in paperback (76 pages) and on Kindle (83 pages) at Amazon, and on Nook (64 pages) at Barnes & Noble. The iBook version (57 pages), featuring additional photos and dramatic footage captured by Lisius, will be available at the Apple iTunes Store later this week.
The guide opens with the line “This book could save your life,” and follows with the author’s insight, gained from 40 years of studying storms, on how readers can best protect themselves and their families from tornadoes, lightning, hurricanes and other hazards. “I think there is some confusion among people when it comes to the right way to prepare for, and act when severe weather threatens,” Lisius said. “Some still don’t understand the difference between a watch and a warning, and what they should do and not do when a tornado is nearby, for example. I tell them exactly how to prepare, monitor and act for each hazard in a short, sweet, easy to read guide.”
