Storm Council

The Storm Council keeps a record. Each book below follows a different storm, a different coast, a different century — and the same entity, watching the Atlantic and Gulf basin reshape the communities built along it.

• Galveston 1900 - The Storm Council Takes Notice

• Miami 1926 — Storm and Speculation
  A Category 4 hurricane strikes a city built on the promise that the future would keep paying for the past. Thirty-seven chapters following the Florida land boom to its breaking point in September 1926.

• Art of Storm
  A coastal community faces the 1900 Galveston hurricane — the deadliest natural disaster in American history — in twelve chapters framed by the words of Sun Tzu.

• Okeechobee 1928 — The Lake and the Levee
  A hurricane crosses the Florida peninsula and drives Lake Okeechobee through the earthen dike protecting its south shore. Thirty-seven chapters plus a Prologue following the migrant labor camps of the muck plain to the flood of September 1928.

• Labor Day 1935 — The Last Train to the Keys
  A Category 5 hurricane crosses the Florida Keys and destroys the Overseas Railroad, killing hundreds of World War I veterans in emergency relief camps. A Prologue and thirty-nine chapters following the rescue train’s race against a holiday-slowed chain of command to the storm of September 1935.

Bring One More Into the Storm Council Chambers

The Storm Council exists because mistakes get repeated when no one keeps the Record.

Every reader who enters Council Chambers and accesses the library receives the lessons of history — flood water, a collapsed levee, a warning that went unheeded.

The Storm Council’s principle of Leverage Over Force measures what one reader can do that no advertising budget can: hand the lesson to someone who doesn’t have it yet, in a form they’ll actually open.
