The Hurricane Guide

The Hurricane Guide by William Radcliff Birt provides practical directions for avoiding the centers of rotating storms focusing on hurricanes in the Northern Hemisphere. It includes tables for corrections to be applied to barometers with brass scales to reduce observations to 32F. The book offers guidance on interpreting wind directions and barometric pressure changes to navigate safely through dangerous weather conditions. With an emphasis on understanding storm paths and taking appropriate actions the book serves as a valuable resource for studying meteorology and storm behavior.
