There is an undeniable drama to hurricanes; their massive scale affecting the lives of thousands, the foreshadowing of impending doom, and their ponderous pace as they approach the shore.
In this novel inspired by Hurricane Andrew, people's lives in the wake of a devastating hurricane are further stressed by con men, shady contractors, and a former Lt. Governor.
Hurricane : Of the 1900 Galveston Hurricane (2004) by Janice A. Thompson
Rubin "Hurricane" Carter speaks Saturday at a forum on the death penalty held by the Pittsburgh branch of the NAACP at the Wesley Center AME Zion Church on Centre Avenue in the Hill District.
Denzel Washington was a best-actor nominee for his portrayal of Carter in "The Hurricane." The movie depicts Carter as a victim of injustice, who served 19 years in prison for murders he did not commit.
He maintained that the movie of his life was slighted because it shows a strong, unyielding fl man, which his oppressors could not stand.
