Rick (Richard) Schwartz lives in Springfield, Virginia. He is a graduate of Salisbury University in Maryland.
After waiting nearly four decades for a book like this, he wrote it himself. Hurricanes and the Middle Atlantic States is a product of nearly seven years of tireless research, hunting for anecdotes, conducting interviews and visiting numerous libraries. The result: Residents of the Mid-Atlantic states have a hurricane history book they can call their own and hurricane encounter stories of universal interest.
