Another, the 1998 ice storm, he wrote about in his book. He recalled the blizzard of 1996 and the tornado that hit Great Barrington in 1995 as two major weather events from his youth. Two of the most important things we use to track and forecast severe weather came from that year and that event.”įisher has wanted to be a meteorologist as far back as he can remember. “That Worcester tornado led to the formation of the storm prediction center, and the roll out of doppler radar. “Up to that point there had never been a severe thunderstorm warning, and no one had ever uttered ‘tornado’ in a forecast in the Northeast,” he said. The 1953 Worcester Tornado is one example, he said. He focused on a few different storms for each type of weather - winter storms, tornados, coastal storms - that led to transformative change either in weather reporting or in society. So, it doesn’t cover everyone but it does cover the more infamous events.” “So each one of these has an impact in one town or a couple towns or one region, but not everybody. “We’ve had hundreds and hundreds of memorable storms, and a storm is memorable to a person when it affects them,” he said. Published by Globe Pequot, Eric Fisher will release his first book on Oct. Fisher worked with them to choose 20 of the most significant local weather events to include, though he knows there are many more. The book became a pandemic project: he started writing it in January 2020 and continued as the world shut down around him. Fisher had been thinking about writing a book for a while - about travel or the outdoors - but in the fall of 2019, Globe Pequot approached him with an idea.
