H. W. “Buzz” Bernard
My name is Buzz Bernard. I’ve written a novel called EYEWALL. I’d like to tell you a little bit about it, and me, on succeeding pages.
An eyewall is the ring of violent squalls and towering thunderstorms that surround the eye of a mature hurricane.
If you’ve ever been caught in the eyewall of a major hurricane, one with winds over 110 mph, it’s something you’ll never forget.
(Also, check out “For Your Entertainment.” I’ve posted a new short story.)
This is a satellite image of Hurricane Katrina shortly before it slammed into the Mississippi coast in August 2005. The storm’s eye is false-colored yellow. Surrounding it is the tightly-wrapped eyewall. (Image from the Univ. of Wisconsin-Madison Space Science and Engineering Center.)
