Bookroo's summary

Henry Rush is on a mission to capture a prairie dog's acrobatics at the Prairie Wildlife Refuge. Unbeknownst to him, ominous signs of a brewing storm gather. As a tornado forms, its impending path of destruction threatens everything around him. Will Henry's focus on his goal blind him to the danger, or will he escape the storm's wrath in time? The clock is ticking as nature's fury approaches.
