Anybody know of good hurricane books out there? I have "The Hurricane and Its Impact" by Simpson and Riehl, but it is from 1981. Anything more current with the latest research?

Here's one of my favorite books, "Inside the Hurricane" which gives a look into Hurricane's Mitch, Bret, Dennis, Floyd, and Irene. Gives insight to the NHC during that time as well as a pretty graphic look at planes in hurricane Bret.

I only have the one book - Hurricane Watch so I have nothing to compare it too - good read and quite up to date.
