Thanks for the Book Orders!

By -
Amazon -- finally -- has Warnings: The True Story of How Science Tamed the Weather back in stock. However, I suspect there were books on back order as they are already back down to 17 copies.

We received a very nice letter from two new readers last week:

"My wife Patty and I both recently finished reading your book 'Warnings' and I just wanted to let you know we both really enjoyed the book. It was a really easy read, but more importantly, highly informative and extremely interesting!"

We have received the first orders for When the Sirens Were Silent -- from as far away as Maine -- and we certainly appreciate them. Thank you. We are told by the publisher that we will have books in hand on Tuesday. If correct, we will have them in the mail no later than Wednesday. Of course, we will immediately start working with Amazon, Barnes & Noble, Books-a-Million, and others to get the book into their distribution systems.

It is unknown how long it will take for Sirens to show up on bookstore or even Amazon's shelves. So, if you want to have sure to have copies available for a Mother's Day or graduation gift, please order either book directly from us. Here are details. Prices include shipping and sales taxes.

  • $15 When the Sirens Were Silent
  • $25 Warnings: The True Story of How Science Tamed the Weather
  • $35 for both
I'll happily autograph either or both and, if the book is a gift, write whatever inscription you would like.

The check should be made to: Mike Smith Enterprises, LLC at 4031 N. Tara Circle, Wichita, Kansas 67226.

    Be sure to have the publisher set it up with Amazon and other ereaders so Sirens will also be available on Kindle ASAP. Want to be sure to have it to keep Warnings company on my Kindle!

    Yes, it will be on at least Kindle and Nook. Keep in mind the official release date isn't until May 15, but so many want to have it before then we are doing the best we can do accommodate the requests.

A couple of tornadoes, hail and wind gusts to 65 mph are possible with these storms. This includes NYC and Philadelphia.  1:05pm. The tornado risk has been extended northward into New York. The brown area has a significant risk of tornadoes. Remember: if a tornado warning is issued, go to your basement and get under heavy furniture like a pool table. Of, if your basement is finished, get into the bathroom. Go ahead an put a couple of water bottles and, if appropriate, diapers in your shelter area. Wear shoes.  If you don't have a basement or safe room, go to the lowest floor and get into a bath or closet in the middle of your home. Children should be put in the bathtub.  I'll update later today.

Note: An Updated Forecast is Available HERE Freezing Rain The National Weather Service has now issued winter weather advisories, two warnings and a watch. It may be a bit too large but, when it comes to freezing rain and slick roads, caution is usually the better course of action.  Here's a color code: Deep purple is an ice storm warning; serious condition where power outages are possible. Pink is a winter storm warning for significant icing. Deep green is a winter storm watch. I don't know why this is still a watch. If I were on the forecast desk I would have a winter storm warning for icing.  Dark blue is a winter weather advisory, a lesser condition, for icing.  Here is a view of the entire watch/warning/advisory area. The small area of green in Illinois is for flooding and, in Nebraska, for snow.  Here is a forecast of freezing rain amounts; totals to 6am Tuesday.  Color codes: Yellow is 0.25 to 0.50 inches. Power outages may occur in this areas. Deep blue is 0.1 to .25 inc
