Book
Looking up : the true adventures of a storm-chasing weather nerd / Matthew Cappucci.
Doogie Howser meets Bill Paxton from 'Twister', with a dash of Leonardo DiCaprio from 'Catch Me If You Can' in 'Looking Up', an energetic and electrifying narrative about all thing weather - by one of today's rising meteorological stars. A self-proclaimed weather nerd, at the age of fourteen, Matthew Cappucci talked his way into delivering a presentation on waterspouts at the American Meteorological Society's annual broadcast conference by fudging his age on the application and later creating his own major on weather science while an undergrad at Harvard.
