Lunatic Wind : Surviving the Storm of the Century - From Kirkus
Reviews , August 1, 1992 : What's it like to be caught in a
thunderous downpour swept by 150-mph winds with a tidal wave heading
straight at you? Sheer terror, of course--which novelist Fox
(Dixiana Moon, 1980) evokes vividly in detailing how Hurricane Hugo
gobbled up the South Carolina shore in 1989. Fox interweaves two
types of narrative here. One periodically sets the scene by means of
brief notes on South Carolina, on Charleston (which Hugo
devastated), on hurricane lore (most of it very familiar), on the
clean-up after the storm, and so on. |
