| Brief Summary |

All You Can Do Is Pray by James Spann recounts the devastating April 25–28, 2011 tornado outbreak, one of the deadliest and largest in American history, which produced 362 tornadoes across much of the United States and claimed more than 300 lives. Focusing especially on the catastrophic impact in Alabama, where 252 people were killed on April 27 alone, Spann combines meteorological insight with deeply personal storytelling from his perspective covering the disaster live on television for over 15 continuous hours. The book explores both the science behind the historic outbreak and the emotional human stories of loss, survival, and resilience, accompanied by powerful photographs from during and after the storms.
