Storm is an epic account of humanity\'s relationship to and dependence on the natural world.
Stewart\'s novel tracks Maria\'s progress to and beyond the shores of the United States through the eyes of meteorologists, linemen, snowplow operators, a general, a couple of decamping lovebirds, and an unlucky owl, and the storm, surging and ebbing, will bring long-needed rain, flooded roads, deep snows, accidents, and death.
