Jack and Annie go to Galveston with some knowledge about the places that survived the hurricane. When the storm hits they are able to direct people to these landmarks that they know from their book are safe.
I didn’t know anything about this hurricane, making it an interesting subject, and the timing of this book being published after the Houston flood this past year is notable. I think the connections this creates to past and present heroes in times of tragedy is valuable.
