As of this morning, Hurricane Florence has made landfall in North Carolina.

Last year, we saw enormous storms like Hurricanes Harvey, Irma and Maria tear paths of death and destruction across the Caribbean and the U.S. Every day there is news coverage of record floods, earthquakes, crippling blizzards and tornadoes hitting unusual parts of the nation.

September is National Preparedness Month, sponsored by the Federal Emergency Preparedness Agency, and it comes at a time when the incidence of extreme weather events seems to be growing.  As a network television meteorologist, Bonnie Schneider has been predicting storms and following weather patterns for many years.  Her knowledge of the weather and her concerns for safety inspired her to write the informative and fascinating book, EXTREME WEATHER: A Guide to Surviving Flash Floods, Hurricanes, Heat Waves, Snowstorms, Tsunamis and Other National Disasters. Find out why this meteorologist has dedicated her career to preparing people to survive extreme weather. 
In addition to working for the Weather Channel, Bonnie has also been a meteorologist for MSNBC, CNN and HLN. In local TV news, Bonnie worked for WLVI-TV in Boston as a meteorologist and reporter. She has previously held similar positions at WFOR-TV in Miami; News 12 Long Island; WXII-TV in Winston-Salem; and KPLC-TV in Lake Charles, Louisiana. While in New York, she fills in frequently as a meteorologist for the CBS television network’s The Saturday Early Show.
