2004 Hurricane Season DVD / Book Reference List

[recmod]

I know that everyone has gotten hyped over the start of the 2005 Hurricane Season. As many of the fellow Storm 2K members have stated, I too am looking forward to tracking the storms during this new season. However, I continue to be "stuck" in the past and have daily reminders of last year's nightmare Season.

Living in the Orlando area, I went through the eyewall of Charley and experienced hurricane-force winds from Frances and Jeanne. I have become fascinated with anything pertaining to the 2004 hurricane season and have accumulated quite a collection of books and dvd's...many of which are still available:

Just to let everyone know: I do not endorse or profit from any of the DVD or book sales presented in the above links. I just thought it would be nice to put together a list of available titles with the associated links to assist anyone interested in obtaining a copy for their own personal use. It took me months of searching to find all these videos.
