Join us for an evening talk in the Rogers Room with meteorologist Eric Fisher on his 2021 book, Mighty Storms of New England.
About the author: Eric Fisher is Chief Meteorologist for CBS Boston's WBZ-TV News and anchors weather segments weeknights at 5, 6, and 11 p.m., as well as WBZ-TV News at 8 and 9 p.m. on TV38 (WSBK-TV). He is also a frequent contributor to CBS News at the national level, reporting on breaking severe weather across the country. Since starting at WBZ in 2013, Eric has won multiple New England Emmy awards for his work as a meteorologist and been named Boston's "Best TV Weatherman" by Boston Magazine.
About the book: The New England landscape has long been battered by some of the most intense weather in the United States. One can experience just about anything except a dust storm. Snowstorms, floods, droughts, heat waves, arctic blasts, hurricanes, tornadoes, wildfires, and other atmospheric oddities come and go with the changing seasons. Knowing the past is a critical part of understanding and forecasting the weather. Eric will take us through some of the most intense weather events in New England’s history. The stories in his book not only describe the loss and the damage caused by the storms, but also how nearly all of them left such an impression that they immediately led to progress where new warnings systems were implemented, government agencies formed, and technology accelerated in response to the devastation they left behind.
