Downpours can flood entire cities, raging winds can knock down buildings, and huge piles of snow can block roads. Readers (Grades 3-5) will find out how scientists study some of the most extreme weather on Earth, from violent tornadoes to deadly hailstorms. They will also learn about some of the most devastating weather events in history.
