In the blink of an eye, the small Texas town of Harper Springs is flattened by the worst tornadic system to ever hit the area. Homes are demolished, trees are uprooted, and people are left for dead.
Taking cover in a cellar with his son, Ryan Gibson narrowly escapes the storm and gets separated from his wife. He hopes that help will come fast – his child is severely injured and the crippling … crippling weather pattern rages on, making them pawns in Mother Nature’s game.
Weeks pass with no sign of another human being. Tornadoes continue to hammer away at the already ravished land. Ryan wonders why they have been forgotten. Basic survival skills set in – their food rations get smaller, their water intake less, and their limited resources will soon be gone. With his son’s fading health and his wife still missing, he will have to make a decision soon – leave their shelter and risk death, or stay patient and hold out hope that a rescue team is on the way.
A harsh truth will soon be revealed – the tranquil way of life in Harper Springs will never be the same.

I really enjoyed this book. There were a few errors in the timeline, but not enough to distract from the overall theme. I loved the way the author managed to switch from one person to another without loosing focus. This was a very interesting concept that makes you think, What If ?
Realistic and scary. Sad to think this could really happen. Kept my interest.
I thoroughly enjoyed this book. I stayed up all night reading.
Did not read more than a few chapters to discover it was not to !y liking.
Couldn’t put it down.
This book was full of trite phrases and predictable characters and action.
Terrible time line. Also wrong characters named, especially toward the end. Author can’t seem to figure out who is doing what. Happened at least three times in the space of 15 or 20 pages. Even though this was the first of a series, I won’t be getting the others.
Couldn’t put it down. Frightening future reality…
Enjoyed this book…may purchase next in series
This book was thought provoking, this could really happen. Makes ya think.
Got to be a little too unbelievable after half-way.
I enjoyed reading Tornado Warning. Watching as the time changes throughout the day and what disaster is waiting around the corner. It’s something that could happen believe it or Not!
Timing and mileage and effects of storm were odd. Two weeks to travel 10 miles? I can hike it in a day. No livestock or people- if the were swept away there should at least some carcasses laying around. It was a fun read but not believable.
Made me buy book 2 in the series
Needs more character development without losing the action feel of the book.
J.
Short read, but engaging. Great for even an older teen.
was a good read. entertaining and possibly a real world situation
Enjoyed the series so far…waiting for the next book.
Left me wanting more, to see what happens next
Truly awful. A short story expanded to fill space as a novel. Filled with inaccuracies and no ending – except to get you to buy book two.
