{"product_id":"9781934572498","title":"And Hell Followed with It: Life and Death in a Kansas Tornado","description":"Colossal trees snap like matchsticks. A gigantic orange fireball explodes in the funnel's black core. Horses are sucked up and spit out alive by 200-mile-per-hour winds. These were just a few of the scenes that unfolded on June 8, 1966, when a massive EF-5 tornado cut a 22-mile swath across eastern Kansas and straight through Topeka—Kansas's capital city. When it was over, 16 people were dead, more than 500 were injured, and property damage had reached $100 million, making the tornado the most destructive in U.S. history up to that time.\u003cp\u003e    That fateful day comes back to life in\u003ci\u003e And Hell Followed With It: Life and Death in a Kansas Tornado. \u003c\/i\u003eAuthor Bonar Menninger has interviewed dozens of survivors to construct a tightly woven narrative that conveys in gut-wrenching detail what it's like when nature careens out of control and ordinary people face extraordinary, life-threatening situations. The book features dozens of remarkable photographs, as well as a series of engaging, hand-drawn maps that place readers alongside individuals in the book as the tornado approaches.  \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Emerald Book Company","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47044084302064,"sku":"9781934572498","price":24.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781934572498_p0.jpg?v=1763642489","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781934572498","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
