Journalist Kathryn Miles on her book SUPERSTORM: Nine Days Inside Hurricane Sandy
Host Michelle Schroeder Fletcher speaks with award-winning journalist Kathryn Miles, author of SUPERSTORM: Nine Days Inside Hurricane Sandy, a moment-by-moment account of this catastrophic storm that took the nation by surprise. They'll talk about the fallibility of our weather forecasting systems, the impact of the lack of funding for research and development at the National Hurricane Center on forecasting future storms, why we’re behind other countries when it comes to weather warnings, and more.

Kathryn Miles serves as writer-in-residence for Green Mountain College. Her article for Outside magazine on one Hurricane Sandy story was named a “must-read” by The New Yorker, Longform, and The Daily Beast. Her writing has also appeared in publications including Best American Essays. She lives in Belfast, Maine.
