A Must Have Selection!

Under The Whirlwind by Jerrine Verkaik , Arjen Verkaik

This was one of the first books I purchased and still read it cover to cover. An insightful book that covers tornado formations (both text and photos), extensive insight into the Arthur tornado on April 26th, 1996 in Ontario and many other weather factors.

Welcome to The Ontario Weather Page bookstore. I have read many books on weather and find them all very insightful and interesting. This bookstore, with Chapters Books, allowed me to post some of the books that I have read and enjoyed and others I wish to buy in the future. They are divided into categories for easier reference and don't include every book possible (there are too many). If you want to look for other books not listed here, just click the search banner on the left. Hope you find something you like. Prices are not listed as they are always changing (for the better).
