Bonnie is a meteorologist appearing on the various media platforms of CNN & HLN. She is also an author. Her non-fiction book, Extreme Weather, is now available at bookstores everywhere. Bonnie will appear on the DIY Network as the Extreme Weather Expert on a TV special called LAST HOUSE STANDING. Bonnie is also co-executive producer of the show that premieres on March 30th.
Extreme Weather received early critical acclaim by Kirkus Reviews:
"...Schneider introduces the chapters with short true-life stories of survival—e.g., one friend warning another just before Hurricane Katrina’s levee-bursting ferocity leveled their neighborhood, and some harrowing testimony from a survivor of a tsunami in Japan. The author capably dispenses basic survival advice... Schneider may surprise readers with information debunking myths surrounding lightning during severe thunderstorms... Offering tips on preserving health and maximizing human safety, the author employs the reliable sources of American park rangers, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), the CDC, Red Cross and FEMA... Veterinarians advise on how best to protect or shelter animals... Family-disaster and emergency-food-storage plans round out the author’s important message.
A user-friendly pocket guide for anyone unexpectedly at the mercy of Mother Nature."
