DELUGE! The Flood of ’94 by the Macon Telegraph, Columbus Ledger-Enquirer and Tallahassee Democrat (Andrews & McMeel: $12.95; 96 pp., paperback original). In July, 1994, Tropical Storm Alberto struck Georgia, northern Florida and eastern Alabama, leaving over 23 inches of rain in 86 hours. The runoff broke dams, swamped bridges, flooded towns and inundated farms. Taken from three regional newspapers, the stories and photographs in this book provide a day-by-day account of the destructive power of water. Readers in Southern California will take comfort in fact they live in a desert.
