Ms. Sizer always brings home toll in human suffering... In the midst of each disaster, Ms. Sizer emphasizes the hope and heroism that emerged.

"The only Texas disaster book published since 2000 is Mona D. Sizer's "Texas Disasters: Wind, Flood, and Fire."
– Mike Cox, Austin American Statesman
"Sizers book is a good read for anyone who is involved in emergency management or government, for anyone who is interested in Texas history or any of the particular disasters covered in this book, or for anyone who just likes to read. This book is well worth the time to read its 190 pages."
